Wow 
Is that one of your Dad’s?
I wonder what a TDO would say if you pitched up at a noisy day with that 
Yeah he’s decided to sell this one , not many like this come up for sale as most wont have the original engine or electronics , with the spares package it makes this car a rare relatively usable proper V10 .
I was lucky enough to drive it a few years ago , unbelievable machine .
Do you know who made the electronics, data loggers and dash? It could have been my old company Pi Research…or maybe someone else. It says Magnetti on the nose but in some cases they just sponsored the teams rather than supply. One of our track guys once got the pleasure of driving an Footwork Arrows car (few years old) after a season of track support. He over cooked it and took all four corners off the car. He got our Xmas Wally of the year award, not sure the owner was very impressed either.
I’m not sure about the dash but most of the electronics are Magneti Marelli including the ECU .
Jesus I bet he was popular ! Good story though .
OK, so I’m gonna ask the question everyone wants to know. If I was to ‘Apply’ what would the Price be?
It would be interesting to know what price you think it is ,
With some road cars costing well over 1 million now & Exige cup cars costing a fortune , what price would you put on a running all original 1998 V10 F1 with spares ?
Obviously if it was a championship winning V10 car than your talking well over a million .
£200k but to be honest I have no clue how much something like that would cost, but it is a starting point
Quarter of a million?
350k I reckon.
lol , yeah a little bit more but Robs not far off . The spares add a lot value to the car + the software to run it , just think of the replacement cost of gearbox if you didn’t have a spare .
Also being original is valuable, there are lots of ex show cars running V8 DFVs or wrong V10s .
That’s really interesting, thanks for sharing. Must be an event even before a lap takes place. Although I’d love a couple of laps 
I did actually make two versions of a table with those alloys, one lit underneath and one is my nuts and bolts trolley dolly in the garage 
Yes just watching all the run up procedures with the external oil & water pumps/heaters & laptops plugged in , that V10 scream when its started 
Have you got pics of the tables ?
How about a demo run at lunchtime on easter Monday?
I’m sure it could be arranged if your Dad is game 
That would be great but sadly not possible at the moment , if the 98 is not sold hopefully it will be going with his M189 to Imola for the Minardi weekend http://minardiday.it/
Great weekend last year .
Here you go…
look great!
I bet the Mrs loves that
I’m with Tim on that one!
Although Mrs T was remarkably relaxed about my acquisition and display of my Minardi wing endplate, courtesy of Moomin.
Seen some of the endplates resold on eBay recently, looks like you got a really good buy
