    Found this in an archive posting I made in 2004. Thought some of the newer guys might enjoy seeing it. The 333SP is the one that Risi Comp ran in 1996 to win their class at the 24 Heures de Leman. Also Paul Frames Yellow F50, the first F50 delivered in the US. California Azzuro Blue F50, the only one. F50 GT and a few more really interesting cars..........

    I never knew the 333 SP ever won its class at Le Mans.

    5 F50 , One being a GT...now thats a line up ! Is that a 250 LM behind the F50 GT ?

    FYI the California Azzuro blue was a non-original repaint and not the original color as your "the only one" remarks suggest. It has been repainted yet again back to red FYI.

    Great picture, thank you for sharing.

    The 333 was first in class at Le Mans in 1998.

    Yes, it was a repaint done in Houston. If you ever saw the car after being painted California, it was a great paint job. The carbon fiber showed up just like an original job.........And yes, it was sold and repainted back to the original red.......

    Uh, yep. And do you know whose F1 car is at the top.

    One time Neiman Marcus wanted the car for display in the mens department in the main store in Dallas. FOH showed up with the full race crew, car in the race transport and everyone in full uniform. They rolled the car off the ramp of the truck, disassembled the car and placed it in the freight elevator. Once upstairs, the race crew took the parts and reassembled them in the mens department while the store was open and everyone could watch. Let it stay a month and went back and reversed the process........
