Very nice indeed!
How expensive that #59 book was?!

Please Arjan, tell me, when or where did Frank Biela drive an F1.
He is a very nice guy and certainly a very successful racer but, in my memory (I may be wrong) he is in no relationship with the F1 ?!?

[arjan916]

@Sami
both are priceless
I don't want to sell these, collecting the signatures is for fun only

@Roger
one race with #22R
I asked him also, before he signed, and he confirms
which race, I've to search for (or will ask him next time)

Between, I made an Excel sheet with all drivers I could find, and add columns for the chassis numbers they raced, so I could ask them about the specific car

Yes I know you don't sell these.
I wonder how much that is in EBAY?

Biella drove #22R? Must been 1998 or something...?
Interesting!

Sorry, but I miss your point / what you mean
I don't sell it, so it isn't on Ebay, no pricing.

Honoustly, I was lucky to get my hands on 059. Thanks to our Japanese sales man who made the money transfer and shipping for me after I found it.
A little advice if you're after rare items, use Google translate and search on the website in the respective country. That's how I found 059 on Ebay.co.jp

The only information i have found on Frank Biella driving 22R was in Prequalifying Le Mans 3/5/98 race number 41 with Thomas Bscher / Rinaldo Capello. In the race it was driven by Thomas Bscher / Rinaldo Capello / Emanuele Pirro. I hope this help

[roger_ph]

Arjan and Terry - thank you both !!

Something like this I expected. Thanks.
