The 1963 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso, which was once owned by Steve McQueen, is now being sold to the public at Christie’s International Motor Cars 2007 flagship auction that takes place on Thursday, August 16 at the Monterey Jet Center in California.
Ferrari was accused of using an illegal vehicle to win the Australian Grand Prix. The enemy of Ferrari, McLaren were obviously the ones making the accusations and as was expected Ferrari denied any and all of these ‘false’ reports.
Contrary to what McLaren said, Ferrari has never benefited from any advantage obtained illegally. The two cars used in the Australian Grand Prix were judged to be in conformity with technical rules by stewards before, during and after the event, the statement said. If there had been any illegality, they would have been disqualified.
There have been many Ferrari vehicles that have been damaged in accidents from poor driving this year. So naturally when we see a picture of one that is on fire we assume that someone has pushed their Ferrari too far and has destroyed another beauty. But that is not the case with this F430.
It seems that the fire in the Ferrari started in the engine bay. The picture was taken by the side of a Philippines highway, specifically the South Luzon Expressway that runs between metropolitan Manila and the Calabarzon region.
