I found the following interesting discussion here.
Q018: from Mark, UK
I searched and searched but have so far failed to find anywhere on the web a site that can tell me how many right hand drive Ferrari F40's were produced. Do you know?


A018: from Andreas Birner @ Maranello
The answer to your question is quite simple: No F40 was ever made by the factory w/RHD! It's the same situation as with the 288 GTO and the F50, by the way. The only twelve or so F40s equipped with RHD are to be found in Brunei, owned by the Sultan; but these examples were converted by Pininfarina (as were several F50s ordered by the Sultan). And no F40 was ever delivered by the factory in a colour other than red, by the way. Several were repainted. The Sultan of Brunei owns some F40s in different colours like white, plus gold-plated one...


I remeber reading about the gold plated F40 back in 90's. He did it for his b'day.
I think they used about 80kg of gold!!

Are we all agreed that we're not very fond of this man?

you guys who don't believe the list have obviously never heard of the Sultan of Brunei
Exactly. This guys has "homes" (plural) the size of the vegas strip. Saddam's palaces were ghetto compared to this guy.

Maybe it has different nomenclature, but I see no 360 Modena Spyder on the list. That would be my one "must have" car unless I could get the 430 spyder. Art on wheels.

I don't doubt it, but it is still nuts.
