Email me directly. It's a great running car, perfect for vintage racing.

The car seems to have been for sale all this time. The original asking price was $750K........more recently it was $650K......I don't know what it is now.

Interesting, given the fact, that Prost is really tiny and Ferrari (like any F1 team) always gave Berger a hard time for being so tall. But then again it probably doesn't matter as much if a 'hobby racer's helmet obstructs some of the air intake.

I say we set it up for the +6 footers.

It was on the showroom floorfor a long time.

Still for sale. 1991 642 MAT122. This is Cavalino at Moroso or BRIC at Road America in 2001.

Does anybody know, whether that car is on display? I'd actually drive to Lake Forest to see it up close (although I believe I have seen this particular before).
