Nigel Mansell's Fiat Tipo

[courtster]

Have you seen this, my apologies if you have

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4626036293

Certainly a bit of history.

I think we see it everytime it comes up on eBay

The car was given to Nigel Mansell as a mark of appreciation for his performance in the 1990 F1 season whilst racing for Ferrari.

Ferrari must have loved him

The past few auctions - jokes wear a bit thin now

wish some museum would buy it to get it off the market

wish the owner would lower the price so it cud be sold

Got quite a lot of miles on the clock, I bet Nigel didn't drive it though. Was given it and probably thought what am I gonna do with this, I'm not keeping in the garage next to the ferrari, porsche, bentley I know, I'll let the garden or housekeeper drive around in it then flog it for a few quid.

Not worth £4.5k, I've seen one just like this go for £500 on ebay, £10 for a plaque and you can pretend that Nigel once drove it.

Not sure why it says 1.8 GTI and then it says 2l engine size.

It's a 1.8 16v so dunno why it's marked as a 2cc

It's been on ebay more times than Beau's resistors - got a bid now so hopefully we'll see the back of it.

more fool him for bidding 4,600 for that

 

[custard]

yeah but the bidder has only bought low value goods,be surprised if it goes through

 

[Hellcat]

Could have bought 5 decent Sedici's for that price.

Or buy one and fix it

 

[custard]

for 4.5k i would want more car for my money than that tipo

This is now on par with the 126 weird steer firestarter backed video clip!
