1994 F1 car for sale

This guy is selling a 1994 Ferrari for just under £100,000, a barga-hang on... Footwork FA15?

*does Google Image search to make sure*

Blimey, so it is. I thought that nosecone looked suspiciously pointy.

Yeah, some bloke decided to repaint an ex-Christian Fittipaldi Footwork Arrows in Ferrari colours, possibly to draw more attention to it. Anyone here want to reward the man's efforts? ;)

I'd have bought that Footwork for 100k if I had that kind of money to burn and it was in its original colours. It was arguably Footwork's best car, and I liked the unusual livery.
I like the way Snrub thinks!

The vehicle is currently painted in 1995 Livery.

Yeah, but just not Footwork Arrows'!

We'll be fine. It's Canon, non Kodak.

Usually it'd be acquiring a previous year's car to operate as a show car (motorshows, static displays, etc), but you'd think Ferrari would have easily enough cars at their disposal to not need to buy up chassis from a rival team for this purpose.

I think I've solved the mystery.

Apparently, it came into the possession of a Swiss Ferrari dealership in 2014, who repainted it to use as a promotional tool. But the question remains: Was it Gregor Foitek's dealership?

I don't think people at the Ferrari headquarters would/should be fine with it...
