The Cars in the Collection

Ferrari 639 F1 (1988)

The journey begins with the Ferrari 639 F1, a prototype that was crucial in testing the renowned semi-automatic transmission system, a real game-changer in Formula 1 (F1) racing. As the first F1 car equipped with paddle shifters, this vehicle not only marked a turning point in racing technology but has also since participated in prestigious events like Goodwood and Silverstone, showcasing its robust condition and engineering brilliance.

Ferrari 640 F1 (1989)

Followed by the Ferrari 640 F1, driven by Gerhard Berger during the 1989 season, this car became the first F1 vehicle to implement the innovative paddle-shifting transmission in competitive racing. Post its racing career, it underwent a complete restoration and received certification from Ferrari Classiche, ensuring its status as an authentic piece of Ferrari's racing legacy. Notably, it has also made appearances in significant automotive events, reaffirming its status as a collector's gem.

Ferrari F40 (1989)

The collection also includes the legendary Ferrari F40, an icon of the late '80s and often hailed as the quintessential supercar. With only 24,000 kilometers driven, it is a stunning example of factory specifications, offering both a thrilling driving experience and the potential for vintage racing opportunities.

Ferrari F50 (1996)

Another marvel in the lineup, the Ferrari F50, draws inspiration from its F1 predecessors with a powerful V12 engine. This model represents the zenith of Ferrari technology and performance from the mid-90s, with only 25 units delivered in the UK. With its original condition intact, it comes accompanied by accessories that enrich its pedigree.

Ferrari F355 Spider (1998)

Completing the collection is the Ferrari F355 Spider, showcasing Ferrari’s commitment to marrying performance with iconic design. This model, with a mere 5,500 miles on the odometer, emphasizes the technological enhancements derived from F1, especially with its paddle-shifting capability.
