Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

1985 Benetton team car driven by Ricardo Patrese to a lacklustre record due to repeated failures of its 1.5 litre twin turbo Alfa V 8 engine. Now fitted with experimental V6 ... by Carlo Chiti, not run since 96.

Market commentary

Hard to say if this is a deal or a dog. An experimental V6 could be reasonably quick in historic F1 events. It also (more likely) could be a nightmare to keep running. This sounds like more trouble than its worth, except as a show car.
