He, like Ratarossa, had narrowed its location to Iraq and flew there to evaluate the Ferrari. As expected, it was covered in sand from bumper to bumper including the engine, whose intercoolers were missing, among other parts. It was in a sad state and, what’s more, it would’ve been a logistical nightmare to move out of Iraq and into the U.K.
Chris explained in a video interview with Ratarossa that a deal was never struck and, instead, he left empty-handed. This largely boiled down to the difficulty of transport, as well as the massive amount of work required to make the supercar drivable again. Chris noted the engine turned freely when he examined it some four years ago, but a slew of high-dollar parts needed replacing.
