Clearly the fella who does the embroidery on Yu’s mats.

I bet he gets it resprayed in red.

Reckon it will get driven? That level of value for a car is almost impossible for me to process.

but as a piece of history or even art, it is cheap when you compare it to some of the crazy prices people pay for famous paintings.

Anything is worth exactly what someone will pay for it, I have no problem with that.

It's just a shame when something gets so valuable you're unable to use it for its core function. that's all.

A shame, but eventually it’ll have to be retired from thrashing around a track anyway - there’s surely only a finite number of years these old chassis/bodies/engines can actually take the fatigue of it?

I was more on about it being driven at all rather than racing. I can't see anyone, no matter how rich, thinking it's a justifiable risk to take a 52m quid car racing.
