Rare Ferrari F40 - and Maradona's Porsche - up for grabs

This car doesn’t want to be your friend. It wants to cause you harm. Grievous harm. But not before showing you the time of your life…

According to swns.com, a Buenos-Aires car dealer said Maradona first bought the Porsche brand new when he was just 19 years old – six years before the Gods of Football gave him a Hand.

How much is the dealer asking for the stout Argentinean’s old 924? £320,000. As we say in TopGear, ambitious but…
