For sale in our forthcoming auction in Paris, on 17 June 2019:
Competition vehicle
Unregistered
Chassis no. HU02
- As it finished its last race
- Still bears Michele Alboreto's number 21
- Exceptional collector's item
For the 1993 Formula 1 World Championship, the Scuderia Italia team ended its partnership with Dallara and turned to Lola Cars for the supply of its chassis. The engineer Eric Broadley designed the Lola T93/ 30, which received the V12 Ferrari engine which had been used the previous season in the Ferrari F92A. The gearbox was a six-speed BMS-Hewland. The experienced driver Michele Alboreto and the very promising Luca Badoer were entrusted with flying the colours of the Scuderia. Unfortunately, due to aerodynamic problems and the absence of the electronic driving aids fitted to their rivals' cars, their results were disappointing and led to the team's withdrawal from Formula 1.
The car presented here still bears the number 21 which was assigned to Michele Alboreto during the 1993 season. At the end of the season, the Ferrari engine was removed and the car stored as it stood. It was in this moving original condition, as if it had just finished the last race of the season, and still wearing the colours of the Chesterfield cigarette company, that its current owner acquired the car. This Formula 1 appears to be complete, with the exception of its engine, and represents an exceptional and authentic collector's item. Truly a decorative feature, it could also return to the track fitted with a new engine, while the absence of any electronic aids would simplify its maintenance. Connoisseurs and lovers of beauty alike will not fail to appreciate it!
Auction estimate: €80 000 / 120 000
