@@FatCandyProduction I highly doubt Mr. Burton will acquire it. If you look at how he uses his cars and how much, an F40 is not a great proposition for him. I see him as someone who drives quite a bit, and also needs cars that are not too heavy in the maintenance department. An F40 is a pretty reliable thing, but it is not like a modern Ferrari.
People should be grateful you’re allowing someone else to enjoy it as you don’t have purpose to use it ! And I am sure you’ll miss it so tough choice and congrats Sam on everything you’re doing !
Amazing photos on the auction listing, I imagine done by yourself. Best of luck with the sale and the next car, if there is one. I am sure this will do better than the red F40 with undisclosed mileage that was up for auction on Friday I think, that ended up selling for £760K, hope yours goes closer to £900K.
Hey Sam, Good luck with the sale of F40 BLU. If I were in the market for such a car I would buy yours in a heart beat mainly due to the gorgeous colour. I really hope that the next owner keeps it blue rather than returning it to the ubiquitous Red.
This car is awesome and instantly recognisable! Many thanks for doing right by the car. Those changes you have made are a big deal. As I have mentioned before you will always have the memories which you have very kindly shared with us!
Man oh Man! Sam, I'm into cars since I was born and today I have to admit I have never seen a blue F40 like yours. Just stunning. What a classic, crazy good looking car. Wishing the new potential owner will do it justice and enjoy it while preserving it's mint condition!
Amazing car and very well put together video.ive sat in one many years ago and IL never forget that moment.congrats for selling but also regrets as this is one of a kind
@@sammooresphoto Plus I expect it’s already gained a decent chunk of value under your ownership anyway Sam, well done for acknowledging that it’s just time to move it on for someone else to enjoy. Hope your next buy is just as special 👍
You guys need to stop thinking about this as investment. If you want an F40 as an investment, you need something entirely different. You need something like a Lexan window car with less than 5000 km. What you do get with an F40 like this, is a car you can use. You can drive it without hurting the value due to value, but this one with blue paint, is not a collector per se. It is also worth remembering that its red book certification does not follow the car to the new owner, and as it is blue and have a Tubi exhaust, you cannot have it Classiche certified again. It would need to go back to Ferrari for a full respray to be eligible for a red book certification. So no, this is not something you buy as an investment and I suspect that it will be one of the F40's sold this year fetching the lowest price.
You will regret this decision for as long as you live. This is the last Enzo approved Ferrari, and widely considered to be the best drivers car ever made. When the world goes all electric, this is the type of car that will essentially be priceless.
@@darmerc2147 I’m not joking. I’m an F40 owner with quite a bit of insight into this market. This is a car people talk about. Yes some want it, but most who are interested in ancF40 won’t. Just because you like it, does that not mean it will be liked in general. A big talking point is how Ferrari has now said they will no longer give this car a red book certification. This is an expensive car to own if you use it, so in order for it to be a value proposition it needs to appreciate more.
This is THE ONLY ONE 1/1 original blue F40 in the world. This is now woth around 2,5 million and will be over 5 million in coming years. How people can be so blind….
You don't have to use it to appreciate it. It's like a fine piece of art. Wouldn't mind just looking at that thing with a good glass of wine. But at the end of the day it's your property and if you have the feeling you want to sell it then it's only you that has to feel good about it. Personally I would never. If I had one I would never let it go again. That's by far my favorite car.

Such a shame you're selling as its great to see your content with it but with values as they are its a difficult car to use to its 'proper' potential. On the plus side a good friend has just bought an F40 so at long last I will get to experience one myself. GLWS :-)

@@HardcoreMotors Funny. You know absolutely nothing about me. Who I am, what I do. Yet assume I am poor? Sure buddy. Believe what you think.

@@sammooresphoto True, maybe the puppy gets to live after all. Although I’m not sure I fancy its chances of racking up way more mileage with its lucky new owner, sadly.

@@davide8641 Just because Zanasi painted it, does that not mean it will hold value. Zanasi is just a paint shop Ferrari and others use. That blue will hurt it, especially as it's a non-cat car that can no longer get a red book certification.
@Dominick i appreciate that, but that prob 10% of the f40s and those are gonna be 2mil too, doubt anyone would ever think this car as one of those cars. Most are quite a different patchwork affair, rarely driven and never loved
@@davide8641 I'm aware that it says that, but that does not change the fact that when the car changes owner, the Classiche certification is no longer valid. It has to be updated upon getting a new owner, and this car can't get that. All in all a Classiche certification only certifies the car at that specific point in time. Once you get the certification, you can do what ever you want with it. It's one of those silly things Ferrari overcharges for, and truth be told, it matters only if you want to do the Classiche cavalcade. It's B.S selling this car as being a Classiche car, because it cannot get the certification as it sits. Colour is wrong and the exhaust is wrong. The spacer needs to go too for it to get a red book certificate.
It'll be sad to see it go, but very exciting as to where it ends up next! Thank you for the opportunity to drive it in your ownership
Very excited because it might end up in the shmuseum? 😏
My pleasure, onwards!

Bid on it Tim!
Come on, we know Italy won the Euro 2020 yesterday, but there's no need to be so drastic and sell such a beauty!
I regretted selling my Kyosho 1/18 F40. I can’t imagine when you won’t see your car anymore in your garage.

I hope so too, would be a shame
What most people forget is that most houses especially in London of that value will appreciate very similarly. Ain't no big deal
Sad but prob the best timing

It's now worth 3 million pounds 😮
This car will gain value like crazy in the upcoming years and is a safe, valuable investment. Why would you sell it?
Possibly, who says the next car I buy won’t 😉. But I don’t drive it and the returns aren’t guaranteed. Time to go

Hey Sam,
Just picked up an online news article on the sale of F40 BLU. Congratulations on a strong sale.
Sold for a 1'000'500 £.
Does the bidder need to pay a premium on top of this ?
Thank you for sharing this very unique F40 with us! 🙏🏻
Sad to see it go,been watching since you got it,but what is next? Anything to replace it,if that's even possible?
You have enjoyed it and now its time to experience something new !
Just seen what she went for... Wow congrats Sam it just goes to show not everyone wants a red one!
Absolutely!
its now in houston and i have yet to see it in person!
Im also selling everything Italian after that Euros defeat…. Don’t blame you lad!
bahahahahaa, get rid!

Could you imagine the devaluation of respraying an F50 in blue? That would make the devaluation it had on this F40 look like peanuts.
@@AB-80X yes haha
I dont know how you could sell such an incredible car, but best of luck with the sale!
Lovely car😊 I'm glad you got a good price for it👌
Your new 812 is a wonderful replacement and far more usable.
Thanks, love it. I’ve done 2k miles already
What else is your crystal ball telling you?
Noooo man dont do it! It is most beautiful f40 of the world!
How much did it sell for? Over a Million £££?
How much did F40 sell for?
Just over £1m

It ended up getting the supposedly highest online auction price ever..just over one million
Will it reach reserve? good for views for sure, and always nice to see it, good luck!
Reserve is set at a very reasonable level

The F40 at the Goodwood Bonham sale looked like yours. I think it went for $1.1M.
I've been watching, will be interesting to see how the results compare.
new to the channel - how did you get this? did you invest and it has appreciated or was it in the family?
I bought it a while ago, if you listen to the driven chat podcast episode i'm on you can hear my story.
Why on earth would you sell the one and only perfect car?!
I remember you from ferrari f40
And being a decent bloke will go to the new owner with a full tank of fuel ⛽️.
Obviously, I need him to at least be able to get to the next petrol station! 😂
Surely this is the first ever f40 sale video on YT, rught?
Possibly
TGE should get it
@Can do Life He'll find a way 😂
You also planning to sell your blue 997 GTRS?😊
Nope
I don’t think many drive theirs anymore. More of a trophy these days.
If I would have the money to buy it, I would just come around to borrow it to you for 30 minutes - from time to time ... :)
Haha
Why? why? why????
First comment! Always loved the f40, it will be sad to see it go💙

She is very beautiful

From a car guy stand point- huge mistake. From an investor's point of view- clever. Sell it now, invest in crypto, buy it back later.
The crypto bubble is about to burst, this is awful advice, I doubt Sam would throw it all away like that.
@The Greatest Minds In History if it’s a great investment why do you suggest buying a small percentage of your net worth?
