The major service is part maintenance and part discovery. The car is inspected bolt by bolt. The engine belts are changed, valve covers removed, all fluids, changed, everything is tightened up, etc., etc. Any parts that are even slightly worn are replaced. So in my case, we replaced the tensioner bearings and springs, adjusted the valves, replaced most rubber parts, especially in the fuel pumps, replaced some other fuel pump parts and refinished the valve covers. Turbo bearings were perfect, but that is a common wear part.
What is your primary motivation for the F40? Drive it (track days & spirited backcountry runs) or show piece (occasional appearance at car events)?
The F40 will be awesome for either purpose

The F40 was on my dreamcar list, I've been chipping away at the list and when the F40 became available, I was able to pounce
