Unveiling the Ultimate $10,000 Ferrari F40 Detailing Masterpiece: 30 Days of Unparalleled Excellence

The Ultimate Ferrari F40 Restoration: A £10,000 Detailing Job

When you own a priceless gem like a Ferrari F40, you wouldn’t dream of taking it to the local car wash. Instead, you’d opt for the crème de la crème of detailing services, like I Am Detailing, which recently embarked on a meticulous restoration of a 1989 F40 formerly owned by Formula 1 world champion Nigel Mansell.

A $10,000 Detailing Job: Worth Every Penny?

This isn’t your average detailing job. I Am Detailing’s two-week "Gold" signature detailing package costs a whopping $4,550, while the "Platinum" package, which takes four weeks, sets you back $9,950. But for a car of this caliber, is it worth the hefty price tag?

A Look Inside the F40’s Thorough Restoration

I Am Detailing documented the process on video, and the results are nothing short of astonishing. The interior was taken apart, windows were removed, and lights, badges, and trim pieces were carefully disassembled to ensure a spotless finish. Even the brakes, suspension, and chassis components were subjected to dry ice and laser cleaning to remove surface rust.

A Piece of Automotive History

This particular F40 has an intriguing backstory. Allegedly gifted to Nigel Mansell by Enzo Ferrari himself, it’s a true piece of automotive history. Powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine, it produced 471 horsepower and featured a five-speed manual transmission. Although it didn’t exactly debut to critical acclaim when it was new, history has been kinder to the F40, with its driving experience and aesthetic appeal cementing its status as a holy grail for many enthusiasts.
