The case for the Ferrari F40
The F40 is arguably the most beloved Ferrari ever - its winged silhouette is instantly recognisable and a centrepiece in any collection.
The case for the Ferrari F50
The F50 is rarer and more divisive, with that naturally-aspirated V12 and removable hardtop - a connoisseur's pick.
Our verdict
Everyone wants the F40; the F50 completes the analogue-Ferrari story for serious collectors.
