A job lot of F1 cars. I believe these are all their most recent championship winners although the pic doesn't really do it justice.

The view when you turn around is also quite impressive. The car is a 1949 166 F2.

Loads of other stuff there as well and definitely worth a visit if you happen to be in the area.

Great pics! I've seen a few new ferrari california's around and they look good but I would take an original ferrari 250 GT California over these anyday (if I had the money of course!)

That would be the 1948 Touring bodied 166 inter, chassis #05S

Went there in 1999. It was truly awesome then and it looks like they've been busy with the exhibits! When I went you were directed around in such a way that you saw Schumacher's Ferrari from quite literally every angle. It was the ceiling as you went in, then you went down the sides at different points as you went around in a figure 8.

Would love to go there one day. As well as the Lambo factory, and the Pagani factory

I just turned up; there is a decent sized free car park at the front and considering it was a saturday it wasn't that busy either. Lots of info here:

Prosts F1-90[/footnote]

Was this not called the 641?

[jurbie]

Could have been; I was going by the notice board in the top left of the pic. You can't read it at this resolution but at high resolution it clearly states it's an F1-90.

[AndrewW-G]

you're both correct, it's Ferrari 641 F1-90 #117
