Re: Gilles Ferrari

YouTube - Jacques Villeneuve driving Gilles' 1978 Ferrari

Hum..I remeber they showed a T3 Ferrari (maybe very first one he drove) and asked jacques to dress with Gilles helmet to recreate the feeling.
But the car I am referring to is the last one, the 1982 model of wich i've never seen on "actual" pictures around.

The car owned by Ecclestone (even according from the few I know)was originally bought and restored from Tambay,and should be in Paris (but again..its just a rumor),and the restore was not at the level it needs.
No pictures of it,and neither Ferrari never told anything about.
In Turin Fiat museum they also have a Gilles ferrari, a 312t4, but that incredible last one is missing.

Another origin says the remained chassis survived to 1982 season were converted into the 126 c3 (following year Turbo),really different in shape.

Surely they did at least 10 chassis of the 126 C2 many of whom where crashed during the season.

I know its more a discussion for ferrari chat, but I know too many of u knows a LOT about this matters

P.s. Keith, u are always right..it was a v6turbo Ferrari 126 C2 126C2 F1 (Gilles Villeneuve) 1:8 scale model kit
