I seen at the NEC when it was it's first showing. Crowds were massive and the stand was full of people all day taking pics. Loverly looking motor. Not keen on the wheels but I'm sure a set of Softstars would finish it off

I wonder if anyone ever actually bought one of these and drove it. You only ever hear about ones owned by collectors that never use them and ones that have been hidden behind walls inside buildings as an investment for the future

Remember having a model of this as a kid and how I thought it looked amazing.

Shame there isn't a successor.

I'd love to be loaded and buy that one then proceed to rag it off up the road infront of the "collector"

When I last did some work at Williams, it was because they are building a factory to make new Jag supercar.

One in Carlisle bloke also has an F40 only ever seen them once on road.

Is one at Las Vegas - Imperial Palace car museum for anyone ever there, well worth a look and if you win in the casinos can go buy it along with other rare exotic cars!
