Gilles Ferrari

talking this evening to an ex ferrari engenners seems that Ferrari car no longer exist neither in museum.
The model was a 126 C2, and was pioneristic winning vehicle (still in fiberglass, with only minor body parts done in carbon fiber, huge Turbo ferrari flat 12).
One of the most terrific fast and impressive Ferrari ever build.
Nobody knows where the chassis can be gone (at least 3 completely destroyed, including tragedy one and Pironi car)

Is for me incredible we dont have the car of the most loved pilot we ever had.
That little "fliying" canadian is still considered the greatest pilot ever drove a red, and for kids as me....it is still a true strong remind see his adventures.
He didnt win anything serious,numbers are against Gilles.
But he is THE legend.

From the few I know..only an ugly replica (done using a later model) is owned by Bernie Ecclestone, but I have no way to confirm it.

If someone from the circus can maybe friendly ask for it, will be very interesting for me.
