Default ex- Mansell F40
Well, I know we might have some belief problems on this post. I mean: who guarantees this F40 is really the one that Mansell owned? Anyway, thatīs the info I had from a reliable friend... Here we go:




btw, post here pictures of Ferraris owned by famous drivers, if you have.

He can't use his legs anymore. The rest is fine and he has for sure controls on the steering wheel. For sure impossible to see in my pics and sincehe was always around, I didn't really want to try and take a picture of the inside :bah:

This French F40 was apparently also owned by Mansell. Did he had more than one F40?

I could ask him how many he owned if you really want me to bother him with such a question

OK - so he's not stinking rich, just slightly objectionably odorously rich..

He didnt pass on his driving skills to his daughter, she wrote off a brand new Golf not long after her driving test, bless.

(she was ok and they bought her an SUV to replace it (Freelander, IIRC)

Would be interesting to find out if thoe "ex-Mansell" claims are true or not.

Do us a favour and lets see if the claims are true..

Update: I am told Nigel had only one F40, given to him as a gift, which he then sold on at a later date.

So one of the owners of the claimed ex-Mansell F40's is lying, but which one? Maybe both
