:grin:

Roll on next year, I'm using my Firenza and my mate is using my Sierra.

I do love an F40 :drool:

Who won .500 or f40 ?

nice pic martin:grin:

Didn't race, the F40 driver had his young son as a passenger which was a good reason why we shouldn't have.

Two great cars

Maximum respect to the guy for driving it, bet most are well and truly locked away now. Two 80s icons right there!

Agree, cars are for driving, such a shame most of these cars including 500's are tucked away under cover.

Love the F40 !! and sure it would have won lol

The rear shot pic is outstanding. Absolute 80s porn in a nutshell

Cool.:smile:

Top pics. I love f40s. I wonder what there like to drive.

How many miles did you do Martin.

My500 and an F40 will be out again soon Martin - looks lovely mate ;-)

The Sierra and f40 have the same wind resistance and weight don't they?? If I'm correct then surely it would have all been decisive on engine performance :D great pics!!

Just under 1000, short trip for the car this time!!

I'd love to see an F40 in the flesh! They are my all time favourite car!

Very nice :grin:

Cool pics! F40 still looks amazing!

Went to le mans last year and some of the motors we saw on the crossing and on the way down were epic.

Definitely going again next year

So come on..... Who won?

Two dream garage cars right there!

Is your 500 4x4 Mart?

Andy is that yours ???:god:

The F40 another car thats value has gone nuts

for years they were around 200k, then sat at 250k for awhile, then over night doubled to 500k, and in the last couple of years people are asking 750k.

will soon be a million pound car!

Trevor Reeves (autocross champ) was chucked the keys of an F40 at the ring, it was spitting flames and spinning up the rears just from the boost on down changes.

There is a chap who regularly takes one on RMA track days. Nice bloke too

Very cool. Did you have any problems with the cossie?

Ive seen a few at shows now.

No, in 7k miles abroad it's only had a dodgy electric window switch so far

Who says cossies are unreliable.

Stunning set :clap:

Cool pics :-)

Was but I converted it back and fitted a TKO600 box.

One of our customers had one with 6k on the clock and still had the original tyres.

And they share the same weber marelli system used on a cossie but 2 of them....

Cool pics Martin

The F40 is what dreams are made of. :oops:


Everyone. But they're an icon so they're allowed.

They're not unreliable if maintained and spec'd correctly, I gave up on working on them as there's too many shitters out there.

oops no I don't own it sadly - but a photoshoot is planned coincidentally with my 500.

Yeh there defo not unreliable. I trust mine 100% and ive been all over the country in mine.

What a pair!!! Would of been quite interesting to see who would come pout on top if you had opened them both up mind (I've read why you both didn't fair play)

If you like F40s have a look at the article in the new EVO mag. One of the writers drives one back through the Alps to save the owner making the trip.
An RS500 in convoy would have made an even better article :)

Nailed it there Martin - too many people trying to run them on pennies and not doing the basic stuff. A local high end car specialist says people will come in with an old 911 and not flinch at 3k of maintenance but not want to spend £300 on maintaining the same performance in an old Sierra. A lot comes down to the owners mindset in his opinion. He looks after a 500 for a guy who's well off and has Ferraris/Porsches and says it's way more reliable than some of the similar age Italian stuff.

a friend of mine lent me this for a while ,there quite nice to drive and sound awesome ,hes getting a new 458 spider

Back in 90s a mate of mine had a Sapphire 2wd and in the early hours 1 day on his way to catch a boat to France he came across an xj220 on the motorway going the same way. He nailed it past him 3 or 4 times to try and get him to give it some. When he finally did my mate never caught sight of him again.
