A friend of mine has an ex Villeneuve BAR.
I expect theres quite a few spectators who have bits of one or both of the BARs after they were hoofed into the wall in Spa 
Ive seen a couple of those Williams cars knocking about, think there were quite a few made to promote the RBS sponsorship when RBS were playing fast and loose with everyones money.

Seen a Jordan 191 yesterday #32 Schumacher in Hamburg.. pretty sure the chassis he raced is in Sensheim.
Can’t remember the chassis number, but the livery is wrong for Spa ‘91. I think it’s engine is displayed separately? Appears to be a genuine chassis, but last time I saw it, it was supported by blocks of wood. Maybe just the tyres that are knackered.Thundersports said:

I've got some bits of that car here.
Apparently it's chassis -5 in Hamburg. At least that's what's on the cockpit plate.
Think you're right James Taylor drove it and was going well until it set itself on fire!Apparently it's chassis -5 in Hamburg. At least that's what's on the cockpit plate.
Also got a #33 front wing flap and rear tyre from the factory when I went for a visit back in the day.

Strange to see an FW19 with HHF's number but it seems FW19-05 was his chassis for most of the year according to the info.
What a bloody lovely proportioned and well liveried thing it is too.
Really need to get to a Retromobile one of these days.

191-6 according to this:

Can you share which one it is?Obviously if he wants the details to remain private then absolutely understandable.

Thank you Ben for the info about that car, much appreciated. Glad people are keeping hold of them from the era and at least they're being looked after. I was a big fan of the 002 I must admit, the livery was less jarring than the 001 and it just looked smart. Any photos at all?
Anyway I received some really generous information about which car was used in which race from 89-99 and am about to run back through the spreadsheet over the next few weeks because it should help me identify a fair few of the cars I have without chassis numbers, although any help towards that would be massively appreciated.
In the meantime I happened to be looking at Lanzante's Instagram last night and it appears they have an MP4/6 at their HQ.
Not sure which chassis it is but it's there.
