2003 Dallara F303 - ex-Nico Rosberg
Discussion
I have this up for sale if there any Nico Rosberg fans out there but have been getting some feedback from people that famous driver history in a vehicle isn't worth anything to the sale price. Curious to know people's thoughts.

What a great thing to own would love to have a drive on track have you driven it yet?
Must be worth more being ex Rosberg car?
Yeah driven it a number of times on tracks around the UK. It is not like driving any production car and I also own an Atom 3.5 and a Lambo. The power-weight ratio and grip are completely bonkers! Must be worth more being ex Rosberg car?

Apologies about jumping on you post, but does anyone know if there's a way of locating the history of a Dallara F399 chassis, with just the chassis number?
It isn't easy - mine came with the logbook but I think the only way to try to track down a history is to write to Dallara and see if they have any records that they would be willing to share.HardtopManual said:
If Senna or Schumacher had driven it, there'd be an uplift in value. Nico Rosberg, not so much. Obviously a decent driver, but never struck me as having anything resembling a fanbase.
Just a F1 world champion , who beat the GOAT to win it ...... haha decent driver , sure it increases the value , this is not some car a mid field Italian F3 series driver drove Byker28i said:
I can only be jealous. Is it eligible for any historic racing?
It reads as though it's ready to run in Monoposto https://monoposto.co.uk/
Which, IMHO, is one of the best kept secrets in UK club motorsport, though I might be a bit biased as I compete in it!
Mono sort of bridges the gap between the historic and modern single seater scene, some of the cars in it one can run in the HSCC series, but most are just a bit too young but also a bit old for the current, professional, series, mono fills that void for single seaters.
There's a class to suit most ages/types of car (up to 2L) and some excellent meetings to attend too.

You'd buy one of these on Spec and Condition and, to be fair, this one does look very nice..
Still F1 world champion which is more than we have achieved despite racing for 30 years , history , like the time sheets is black and white . Provenance in cars becomes more important as they age and enabling entry to premier events , such as Classic Monaco and Le Mans . Raced an early Dallara F3 for a few years and as you say this looks nice

The car is eligible for Monoposto F3B class, running at 40mm ride height with a 25mm restrictor. It would be competitive in its class although some would prefer the F304 onwards with its sequential gearbox. Rosberg pedigree adds interest, but I'm not sure it adds £ 10k to the price based on its appearance on Collecting Cars.
