Why Is This Guy's Ferrari F40 Blue?
The colour chat starts at about the 13min 30sec mark (although it’s worth watching the whole thing, since it’s not often you see the owner of a car like this talk so candidly about it), but the reason for the colour is all because of carbonfibre weave.
Since this car was wearing white, mostly aftermarket panels when Sam bought it, the car needed a splash of paint once the bare carbon, stock parts were re-installed. It would have been difficult to get visible weave using the original Rosso Corsa, so Sam opted for a completely custom shade of blue.
If you had a car like this and needed a respray, would you be tempted to go for a non-original colour?
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Ferrari should offer this as a paint colour. It looks good.
This is in fact an official Ferrari color. Its called Tour de France Blue.
Because it’s Not Red?
I have a thing for purple Ferraris, so I’d totally respray them in non-original colors
i’d paint this black while painting the panel gaps as red
id wrap it, not paint it, cause its quite permanent
Something’s wrong.
Blue is another word for sad.
F40s smile.
Well that’s irony
