Some more info on the car...

I was correct, this is the Dean Wills F1, however the car has a new owner. The chassis number is #009. Apparently the owner was very friendly and candid about the car. You will find the owners name closely associated with racing Ferraris as he is/was the team principal for Prancing Horse Racing.

Here's another pair of photos of the car that tdc911 from SC.net took. Figured a few people here might like them...



Both are clickable for larger versions. More to come, hopefully!

Re: f1 in Melbourne

Courtesy of someone on FerrariChat:

The car is now owned by Tony Raftis and is on display at the Grand Prix and after at his showroom in Richmond Melbourne.

It's wheels have been repainted to "normal" silver after being previously the darker graphite colour.

It is here:
http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50621

The user 'ferrarifixer' works for/with Maranello Motorsport as I recall, which explains his familiarity with the car.
