1978 308GTB 'signed by Michael Schumacher' for sale

To be honest it looks more like vandalism than a selling point! Soon buffed out... (not that I have anything against MS)

A Michael Schumacher signature is hardly rare and that one is excessive in the extreme let alone the location. I'd buff it off in a heartbeat.

 

I have a scratch on the roof of my 308 that I made with a coat hanger while unlocking the door after locking the keys inside.............it very closely resembles the Schumacher signature..............making my car "quite rare".....!

 

I'd rather he sign something like the owners manual rather then the actual car.

 

Funny, based on the comments, it must only work for Carroll Shelby...

 

Does it actually matter much, as the car is not in its original color, which was "Blu Sera"?
Not ranting or nit-picking, but I'm slightly surprised that, after 22.000 euros of recommissioning work (that's what we are told in the text...) it doesn't even have a correct steering wheel (it has one from a QV or a 328); I'll leave the non standard two pipe exhaust aside...

It is an issue of Mr. Schumacher's involvement with the car. Did he own it? Drive it? Ride in it? Or, did he simply scribble his name on it while passing by like he might on a baseball cap or race brochure?

No, it doesn't matter at all. I'm just amused that someone would consider it a selling point. I did notice that it had had a colour change.
I wonder if they didn't revert it back to the original colour because the value of the car would have collapsed the second the autograph was oversprayed

 

I couldn’t even tell it was a signature of any kind? Guess you’d have to see in person?
