In the world of supercars, Ferrari is a highly respected name. This is especially true for the legendary F40. For the first time in Australian automotive history, an auction will feature one of these famous cars for sale here.
To celebrate the launch of Vellozzi Auctions, we are proud to present a car that changed supercars—the Ferrari F40. For the first time, an Australian business will sell this famous car at a public online auction. This is not just a sale; it is a key moment in the history of cars in the country.
Ferrari created the F40 to celebrate its 40th anniversary. The last car approved by Enzo Ferrari himself was the F40. Many people widely regard it as the most raw, visceral, and iconic supercar of its time.

Investment Gold: The F40’s Rising Value
Beyond performance, the F40 is increasingly viewed as a blue-chip collectible. A limited number were built from 1987 to 1992. Demand is much higher than supply, and values keep rising worldwide.
On platforms like FerrariChat, collectors discuss the F40’s position as an undervalued asset. Many believe that it has not yet realised its full market value. This is because it helped break the 200 mph barrier. Also, the last true Enzo-era Ferrari.
This upcoming auction is not just a dream for collectors. It could also be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to invest.
