For sale in Germany.  I would happily give up all my worldly possessions and a few vital organs for this car driven by Henri Pescarolo and Derek Bell......

No price?

Best guess? $2m?

I think you'd expect factory child restraint mounts and a towbar for that price..

Neil...given it is RHD we should go hard. Let's get Vin involved. He is a closet money bags...Marie is a goddess and will sign-up. Between the three of us WE can do this!

You just need to drive me a little slowly around the track as I will get motion sickness!  ;D

I know Hugh will be lurking and dribbling!

AWESOME!

Actually I want Phil B to take me of a drive. He is very empathetic....

It is not going to go down in price over the years. What about a few of us (5 max) DO IT.

I've got $192.66 in my race car fund. How much of a share does this get me?

And another, this was the car that was out here in 2010.  I drooled over this for hours.  It was wonderful watching it being driven hard during the PI Historics.

You will notice that they are all RHD, the shifts in most Proto sportscars where not in the center, same as in open wheelers (due to the engine being in the way). Euro drivers lack the skills to deal with a LH shift so almost a the cars are RHD, this includes all the major players not just Alfa.
