I think you are mistaken Patrick. This car has been tied up in a huge legal mess here in the USA for several years. Part of the punishment the US government was hoping to impose on the owner for fraudulent importation was the forfieture and sale of this car if he were found guilty. It's my understanding that #069 has been locked up in a US Customs storage facility during this entire time period. I also don't recall any photos from you (or anyone else) of #069 during that gap, save for the Bonhams Auction photo they used when the car was supposed to appear in Monaco in 2005. It ended up being a no-show there.

Isn't the car you are thinking of #018? Grey with the High Downforce Package and a light tan interior that recently reappeared in Singapore?
