Ah, I stand corrected.

 

Also spotted by me at the 1993 Monaco Grand Prix...

Wow, that's quite the sight. Do you host any more images from early Grand Prix days around Monte Carlo?

 

Yes, here :

Thanks.

 

Excellent archives, Aardy!

 

Thanks Joe.

I have more pics. I will try to put more as soon as I find the time...

 

I'm curious to what other cars Vettel owns.

 

any more pics info on the Alesi F40?

Surely theres a pic of him and enzo by it when he received it?

What year car is it?

Has it been on more than one registration plate?

Thx

 

Funny thing about Kankkunen, at the time he drove for lancia, and after cinching the title he was ofered a ferrari of his choice, any ferrari, he decided to get a f512m instead of the f40, because he thought it would be much more practical....of course later on, he deeply regreted it when he saw how much value teh f40 had gained!!

 

maybe the Pavarotti F40 was a single seater...

(In my opinion he never even sat on it)

ciao

 

maybe because Mr. Kankkunnen (called KKK by his supporters) discovered that the F40 hadn't KKK turbochargers...

ciao

 

Hahaha, probably!

Talking about famous owners, wasn't Gianni Agnelli's F40 the only one in the world with some sort of robotized clutch? I remember reading somewhere that they did it for him because he had a leg issue...

 

His Testarossa Spyder had a Valeo automated clutch presumably similar to the one offered on the Mondial T, so it would make sense that his F40 would have had a similar setup?

 

I think Massa has one as well...

 

Patrick Tambay had one...later sold to NL

 

What's the source of your information?

Apparently, he still has his F40, his 288 GTO, and a number of other Ferraris besides.

I heard it from himself in a video were he was showing his car colection...i'll try to find it and if i do i will post it.

 

I think something must be lost in translation, because he clearly has his F40, Ive seen that from other sources as well.

here it goes..but i clearly remenber watching a video were i saw himself telling the story..i believe he puchased teh f40 later...

 

Got it, excellent.

Your earlier post didn't reference the fact that he went back and got an F40, hence the confusion.

 

Sorry, my bad, i had seen the video some time ago and couldn't remeber the whole story.

 

Interesting to see that the 288GTO has a Dutch registration plate!!

 

ZT-05-TG.

Does anyone know the chassis number?

 

53287

 

Thanks Tom, wondered where that one went, now I know!
