History of chassis 051

Chassis 051 was the 42nd of 64 F1 road cars built. Completed in 1996, it was uniquely finished in Dark Metallic Green with a matching green leather and alcantara interior and a red leather driver’s seat insert.

051 was sold to a Swedish customer who later purchased an F1 GTR (chassis 11R) and a Dauer 962 LM (chassis 962.8.001). Other vehicles in the owner’s collection included a Porsche 911 GT1, Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR and Bugatti EB110 GT.

While in Sweden, the green F1 was registered RJC 547.

In 2005, chassis 051 and 11R were sold to a Japanese customer.

051 currently resides in the gallery of Light Auto 1, Nagoya.
