Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F40 in FLAMES (Steve Jenkins)

[Steve Jenkins (steve]

I suspect the cause is, most likely, related to the fact that this being a Euro car the owner did not replace the fuel bladders with the safer tanks that are in the US versions.

It literally felt sick to my stomach viewing the photos. Another piece of automotive art and history gone forever.

Also, if you use Google Chrome, your browser will automatically offer to translate Italian pages.

Wow, even less left of that than there was of my cars....  Ugh, gut-wrenching.

Can anyone read the Italian for cause of the fire?  Guessing simple fuel leak that got WAY out of hand.  That little fire extinguisher the guy was carrying in one photo would never have touched that blaze (speaking from experience....).

Steve - glad it's not yours, but more importantly, glad there was no one *in* the car.....

fwiw, ymmv, yadda yadda....

No... not mine.
