Myxilplix Turbocharged August 18, 2013 Share August 18, 2013 I know this won't be of interest to most people, but being a car forum I'm guessing there might be one or two of you who might appreciate this on-going restoration thread of an F40 LM I came across. The attention to detail is astounding and the workmanship is just spectacular. http://www.build-threads.com/build-threads...lm-restoration/ The resto is at a stage where the car is starting to come back together and the best part is that the owner intends to drive/track the car once it's done. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myxilplix Turbocharged August 18, 2013 Author Share August 18, 2013 Yeah it's still my favourite Ferrari of all time, childhood fantasy car. Although if I won the megadreamfantasy lucky draw and have to pick just one, it'd be a tough choice between an F40 and 250GTO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I mentioned the 250 GTO, although the 288 GTO is very special car as well and the precursor of the F40. No, i'm not referring to the Pontiac GTO.
