This European specification, left-hand-drive Plexiglass sliding-window model Ferrari F40 was ordered by Fabrizio Violati on October 15, 1987, at the official marque dealership Sa.Mo.Car SpA in Rome, Italy. His order number for the car was '11146' and on July 8, 1991 the finished car's Certificate of Conformity (No 205) was issued by factory engineer Corrado Cinghi.
Factory invoice No 2141/A was issued for the car on July 15, 1991 and on the 23rd of that month this F40 was sold by Sa.Mo.Car SpA of Via Salaria, Rome, to Leasing Sanmarinese SA of Via 5 Febbraio, Domagnano, San Marino for the declared purchase price of Lire 305,000,000. On July 29 the F40 was formally leased to Stelabar SA of Via Paina, San Marino, and on August 13 it was formally sold to Fabrizio Violati.
He promptly drove the car as race number '82' in the September 28/29 III Historic Grand Prix of the Republic of San Marino, at the Imola race circuit nearby.
Fabrizio Violati retained the car as a prime exhibit within his Collezione Maranello Rosso displays in San Marino and latterly at Falciano, still within the Republic, but on the road eastward towards Rimini.
A road test in the British 'Fast Lane' magazine highlighted a 0-60mph acceleration time of just 3.9 seconds, 0-100mph in 7.8secs and 0-140mph in 14secs. At the time the Ferrari F40 was the fastest road car ever produced in series. There was talk upon its introduction of production being limited to 400 examples but by the time that production finally ceased in 1991 it is believed that the actual total produced was no fewer than 1,315.
