Vettel buys Pavarotti´s F40

well done.

next question, how did pavarotti shoehorn himself into an f40? i am just 6ft, and 175 pounds, and limber, and it is not easy to get in and out of that car. how does a 300 pound beluga do it?

 

Naked and covered in pig fat grease. Vettel will appreciate

 

Good for him. He will see how history is made.

 

Let's say it is a very very very low millage car.

Or a 1:18 Bburago scale model....

 

BTW, what professional racingdrivers own or have owned a F40?

I know of Jean Alesi, Nigel Mansell, Dario Franchitti, Francois Dellecour,

 

Didn't Nigel Mansell own one?

yes

 

I find it easy to get in one and I am 6ft1 245lbs (weight training so no beluga) surprising though that I fit quite easily and comfortably in it...

 

I'm sure you would feel differently if it were you making the profits

One of the famous Finnish Rally drivers has one, but cannot recall his name.

 

Oh I see..... Cheeky bugger

That was the F40 with tan leather seats; as I recall it was later for sale in France.

Vettel did a funny imitation of Mansell on TG some time ago.

 

5'9" 200lbs and I fit right in! It's getting out that's hard.... Though it's only because I don't want to get out

 

For sale few years ago for less than 400 000 euros, then was also for sale by the Lille ferrari dealer in north of France, then again for sale in an auction a little bit later,.... complexe history.
I still have some pics of this car with mine during some ferrari club and cavallino rosso clubs events, and the owner at that time was also the happy owner of an F50 and an Enzo, so a well knowned owner in fact!

 

Merci for the details you provide here Dominique!

It's even a very early one with the sliding side windows.

 

Prost too. The car was sometimes based in Charles Pozzy Levallois

 

Fine I like in black seat but in cream....stuming!

 

François Delecour didn't own an F40. He crashed a yellow one owned by a friend.

 

On the 20th June 1992 in St Michel de Figolet, Cote D'Azur, Alesi used his F40 as his wedding-day car!
