Ron, I checked all the documents I have concerning the Lauda GTO. I do indeed have an "STA" number associated with this (Lauda) chassis number, but it's not any of the ones pictured a few posts back.
A red plate can be placed (and usually is) on a car that doesn't have a full time registration. Like just for the day. If by chance the F.W. registration on the black lettered GTO registration was valid during the June 1989 photos of the picture when I shot the GTO with the red letter plate, then it would be my guess that I took pictures of the Lauda car. If that makes sense. The only sure way to ever know is to ask F.W. assuming he remembers! lol. I was in contact with their race team about a year ago, so if it is something you or anyone wants to know, I can shoot off an email.

That is awesome. Ive had that as my profile pic for years. Never get sick of looking at it. Not sure where it came from!

Thank you After I posted this image on F Chat, the following day I saw it on my Facebook news feed reposted by Luxury4Play. I guess it's making its way around the internet.

Got a Monaco registered F40 at same date/time - not sure where to post it though? here I guess.... they were either owned by same person or by friends who had driven over together.... Image Unavailable, Please Login
