Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Ex Ricardo Patrese. 9th at Silverstone was the best placing. Now fitted with experimental V6 engine developed by Carlo Chiti ... has not run since 1996 according to the catalog entry at Nurburgring last year. Now running, but otherwise as raced.

Market commentary

Bought a year ago at Brooks Nurburgring for $36,797. Or so it seemed at the time. That was DM80,500 or +41,160. The DM + exchange rate remains constant and today +41,160 is $40,765. So, while the buyer of 185T 003 came out whole, the definition of whole is subject to some interpretation; and its significantly different from the $20K that appears on the surface. If only economic life were simple.
