Ferrari Mailing List: Jean Alesi's 1992 F1 F92A car sold 2.9 millions Euros.

I tried to send the link but my 12-year old IMac computer is denying me again.
Check ARTCURIAL website and search for his car sold on february 27th. The 
pictures are pretty awesome and so is the story. He says he drove the car for 2 
laps at Fiorano’s track in 1992, then they changed the tires, put the car in a 
truck to be sent to the south of France at Alesi’s home. He never drove it 
afterward. Just left it in his house for over 30 years.

The car was awful (4th place with 21 points), the design (double-floor) by John 
Barnard was very controversial. I remember that they always blamed it on 
Barnard’s design back then, but apparently the problem was the engine (just 
read an article with Alesi in ENZO magazine #31). Being a V-12, Ferrari didn’t 
want to blame the problems on the engine. That would have been sacrilegious.

Hope you find the link.
