Knock on wood that's an outstanding car you've acquired, gosh that mileage is so low for a car at that age. My 3 year old "low mileage" weekend car has more miles than you do for a Supercar, if that was in my garage i am sure it would be driven more at least 2-3 days a week; a quick 1 hour drive enjoying the car on a fine afternoon with low traffic, having my favourite cd blasting and listening to that twin turbo V8 purr.
I just wanted to say Congratulations on owning the best and most iconic supercar on the road today, all of the cars you see today were following the F40's supreme in your face 80's look. I cant think of any supercar that grabs my attention as much as the F40, its just the creme de la creme in supercar territory in terms of looks and heritage.
Enjoy it in the best of health, thank you for sharing with us.

Has anyone ever dreamed of a modern F40?
Lightweight car with a CF tub, Modern TT V8, priced somewhere between the Scuderia and an Enzo, very limited producution and only for sale to current F40 owners, the body - very retro-styled like how Ford did it with the GT, roll-up windows, no stereo, barely street legal ...Now that would be cool

Often, but it'll never happen. You couldn't make a car the size of the F40 as light as it is today, it'd never pass any crash test mandates. You also couldn't make anywhere near the kind of power it makes from a relatively small displacement with all the emissions crap required today.
Further, Ferrari seems not to be interested in building cars for the demographic who love the F40 anymore, which is IMO the worst travesty to behold.
If they were to make another F40-esque car, it'd weigh 3,000+ pounds and have flappy paddles, which would entirely defeat the purpose.

And I've sold off all my flappy-paddle cars...not a one of them did anything but dull my driving experience.

...all the 'music' anyone will ever need will come from that wonderful engine
