Well guys, here is Spot #3000. Woke up late one hot summer day on 7/28/2019 and decided to head over to Greenwich. I saw the red Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 parked in the L'Escale parking lot and decided to head over to take some pictures. Little did I know that just out of sight from the road was the only green Ferrari F40 in existence just casually parked in the lot. I was waiting to see this car on the road, and it finally happened! The owner usually shows up at a lot of local events. He has a Porsche 911 Singer, a Lancia Delta HF Integrale, a McLaren 675LT Spider Carbon Series, and his recently acquired Pagani Zonda F. I still have to catch the 911 Singer and the Pagani Zonda F on the road, but I'm sure it's bound to happen at some point. Here's to another 1000 spots! License plate: FH·533CL
| Topspeed | 324 km/u |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/u | 3.80 s |
| Power | 478 pk |
| Torque | 577 Nm @ 4000 tpm |
| Weight | 1100 kg |

Amazing spot! Red is a great color on an F40, but almost every one of them is in that color. This definitely looks very pretty and unique in combination with the tan interior.

Oh damn epic!!! I have this in 1/18 by BBR. Stunning car and the scale model as well

Holy guacamole. This is beyond words! Indeed the only green F40 casually driving in USA with Itallian registration plates. Quite the way to celebrate your 3k spots! This owner has taste. Awesome collection.

Well, what a dreamcatch! Great job finding this only green one in existence!

Insane spot! It's amazing how great these still look 30 years later, so much better than the LaF or any current Ferrari. Congrats on 3,000 posts as well, that is an unreal milestone and really shows your commitment to car spotting.

Holy SH*T, F*CK! Absolutely amazing man....congrats on #3,000 (guess you beat me to it :))) PS. I never want to hear you complain about Greenwich ever again...lol! I trade this spot for any Camaro I spot in my dinky town. Up to 4,000. You might just got another shot at SOTY 2020!

Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments!! I did not expect this to blow up as much as it did comment-wise, so a huge thank you to all of you! Hopefully I can still continue to spot and upload photos in the near future.
@OPspotters hahahaha while I do wish there were more muscle cars here in Greenwich, I have recently started to enjoy the lower-end BMWs, Mercedes, Audis and Land Rovers here. I have started taking pictures of those and will probably upload them on my Flickr at some point. I hope I can get a shot at SOTY with this one but I doubt it will happen haha.

Wow pretty rare find especially with italian plates in US and with green colour. Awesome spot!
Victor-J - 2020-02-18 at 11:10
Congrats Rivitography! Really enjoy the spots coming from these parts of the USA. Some incredibly hidden gems to be found there. And the quality you deliver helps out as well!

Absolutely mental. Simply fantastic, I don't know what else to say. The best spot I've seen on the site for months.

This is the car from the owner of Automobili Amos. Thats the company who did the remake on the Delta Integrale.

I really like this color on the F40! Although unfortunately it is not a factory color, it was originally red and then repainted by the previous owner here in Italy. A pity it has been sold, but certainly an advantage for you in the USA that you can see it around! Congrats for the spot and very beautiful pics as always! :)
JACK888 Turin Spotter - 2020-02-18 at 20:44
Let's rock with italian plates,one off color F40 in the USA...if I'm not wrong owner has many cars with italian plates...and that make his unique cars even more unique! Insane find mate !
agaccount - 2020-02-18 at 23:52
this green F40 is absurdly cool on its own, but that urwerk adds another layer of awesomeness to the package, congrats
MercedesFreak - 2020-02-29 at 09:20
What the........ This is unreal! Omg, absolutely the most beautiful and awesome F40 I've seen! This is really unique.
ElevatedRarityToronto - 2020-03-19 at 13:59
This is fucking great, good stuff all year round from USA, but this spec is really cool for any Ferrari. Keep em coming!
