32k for an F1 engine?? seems rather cheap to me? thought they would have been well in the hundreds of thousands? the engineering behind them is phenomenal. anyone else think this could be wrong? lol.

Would be expensive if it was a 2006 Mclaren engine

apparently Ferrari designed the wheels with the Corsa in mind so should fit straight on!

Probably an engine that has raced or been used in testing. The components will have been thoroughly fatigued and will be at breaking point so the actual value to Ferrari will be scrap metal. If you were to try running it (assuming you had all the subsystems it needs ready to hook up) it woud likely blow up, throw a rod or just seize in no time.

It the perfect ornamament though, who needs a pot plant!
