Rare F40 - and Maradona's Porsche - up for grabs


This car doesn’t want to be your friend. It wants to cause you harm. Grievous harm. But not before showing you the time of your life…
One of TopGear’s favouritest supercars ever is coming up for auction, and it’s a beaut: a mint-condition “original and unmolested” 1989 Ferrari F40.


The first road-legal production car to hit 200mph and briefly the world’s fastest car, the F40 is, as Jezza once explained, simply “a go-kart with a twin-turbo V8 in the back”; a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V8 with 471bhp on tap.
The F40 up for grabs has covered just 10,500 miles, and because it’s Totally Awesome, is expected to fetch between £280,000 and £320,000.
However, if you prefer something with a little less perfection, a little less brawn, and well, something brown, you could always purchase a Porsche 924… owned by one D. Maradona.
Yes, sports fans, a Porker once owned by a handy little footballist is up for sale in Argentina, and rather ambitiously too.
According to swns.com, a Buenos-Aires car dealer said Maradona first bought the Porsche brand new when he was just 19 years old – six years before the Gods of Football gave him a Hand.
How much is the dealer asking for the stout Argentinean’s old 924? £320,000. As we say in TopGear, ambitious but…
A Clarkson-approved Ferrari or Maradona’s tatty-old Porsche?
