Eddie Irvines car?

[sjp63]

What was he driving tonite on BBC1 8.30?

[360boy]

Ferrari 550 Maranello.
With no numberplates!

Which programme is this?

[Muzzer]

Britain's Favourite View or something. It was on ITV1...

[132]

I once bought his Lancia Integrale Evo. I still have copies of the Italian papers with 'Edmund Irvine' on them...

Swerve would have been F1 world champ (before shoemaker) had the crew not 'lost' a tyre at a pit stop.

Shame he didn't give his 288 GTO a run instead of the 550.

He sold his 288 a while ago now

I did hear he was over exposed to the luxury market

Loads of Integrale's had his name on it-when 'grale's used to command a premium in the early days there was place in South London which every Integrale had him as a previous owner.

yep to a good friend of his, and his friend gives it a good thrashing!

I bought a Ducati 996 SPS off him, presented by Ferrari for a podium finish one year, came to me with just 49 miles!!

I'm hopefully taking that car (288 GTO) out in the next couple of weeks, my cousin bought from Eddie a few years ago, can't wait !!

considering he co-owned a car showroom that used to import them in East Sheen it's not surprising

his black Daytona is very, very nice though

I know. However, this was his personal car and was registered to him in Italy. He also wrote about drivig this car to various GP's.

I'm sure it had plates, but ITV decided to blank them out, maybe due to a request from Eddie

Indeed... Or had he not had to defer to MS during the first part of the season, thus losing points that would have made the difference between ultimately winning or losing the WDC. Says a lot for him really that despite having to defer to MS until Silversone he still got to within two points of winning the World Championship by the end of the season.
