Michelotto built up nineteen F40s that were classified as F40 LM. Seven F40 GTs were built by Michelotto for use in the Italian Supercar Championship, followed by a further seven built for the BPR Global GT Series (F40 GTE), an evolution of the LM. With the success and excitement created around the appearance of the aforementioned F40 LM’s GT and GTEs, The GT programme was adopted by many owners independently and as a result a number of cars were privately converted (from a standard road car) over the years, such as the example offered here.

This F40 was supplied new to Italy, being manufactured in 1989 and delivered in 1990 as a standard Non Cat & Non Adjust example. Some years later the car found its way to Japan where it was uprated to race in the Japanese GT series. The car found its way back to Europe and was subjected to a restoration at which time the car was repainted, had all four corners stripped and rebuilt, a full engine inspection and service, and an interior retrim.

Today the car is in France, road registered, and presented in superb concours condition throughout but importantly in its "GT" specification. This includes, lightweight clam shells front & rear, lightweight lower rear valence, "LM" style headlights & front clam shell with added radiator extraction ducts, "LM style sill Nasa duct, fully adjustable waste gate, revised engine management, big brakes & wheels, digital race dash, electric passenger window, fully adjustable suspension and "LM" venturi ducts & rear wing.
