I would suspect that the website link implies where Mr Wallace gets his income.

Mr Wallace isn't the one who's son wrecked the Enzo in Florida, is he?

Hello,

do you know if Mansour Ojjeh was his precedent owner ?

Things aren't sounding all that great for chassis #073 unfortunately. I found this quote on another message forum in a thread about Enzos:

Our local former Enzo owner seemed to feel losing control and crashing it on the highway was a good idea. It was sold locally at an auction by the insurance company. He now has a McClaren F1, which I saw sitting out in his driveway after one of our infamous torrential FL downpours. The poor guy also has a fleet of 6-figure cars including a new Rolls, Bentleys, GT3, etc.

The poster's location was Tampa, FL so I can only suspect it was Mr. Wallace's car he was referring to. I posted a photo of it to see if he can confirm. Wyclef's F1 is in Florida, as well as Jim Clark's to my knowledge, but I don't think either is in Tampa.

More to follow when I have it...

Hello,

gloups if it is true, I am a little unhappy because this one is particular for me and maybe the most exclusive road car.

A little question about Jim clarck that you mention, is it the Formula 1 driver ?

No Jim Clark is a business man. He started Silicon Graphics, then moved on to start Netscape Communications and is now working on MyCEO.com and a healtcare database company called Healtheon/WebMD. He's a billionaire at least.

I know the Jim Clark you are referring to, but its not the same man.

I thought he might have died around the time of Bruce McLaren's death, but didn't have time to look it up. Thanks for clarifying that.

Jim Clark, a fellow Scot, died in a relatively unimportant F2 race at Hockenheim on April 7 1968. He succeeded in the World Driver's Championship, the Indianapolis 500 and Indy car racing, the British and European Touring Car Championships, the Tasman Cup, the British and European Formula Two Championships, won races in the Lotus 23B and the difficult Lotus 30 sports cars, and proved adept at rallying and even NASCAR racing. On many occasions he raced in several classes during a Grand Prix meeting!

Bruce McLaren died on June 2 1970.
