Chassis:
Originally used for one of the F40 prototypes, chassis 74045 was rebuilt into a F40 LM by Michelotto in 1992. It was acquired by Stephane Ratel in 1994, who fielded the car for two seasons in striking French blue racing colours with Pilot sponsoring for Michel Ferte. Together with Olivier Thévenin and Carlos Palau, Ferté finished 12th at Le Mans in 1995. A month later Ferté and Thévenin scored a victory in the BPR race at Anderstorp. For 1996 chassis 74045 was upgraded to GTE specifications with a wider rear wing. The best result that year was a third at the team's home race in Nogaro. Since its contemporary racing career, it changed hands several times and in 2008 it was acquired by a long term German owner. He demonstrated the car at several events around Europe. In February of 2019, it headlined the RM Sotheby's Paris auction where it was the top seller.
