Otis Chandler owned the car for a long time. After Rob bought the car, he gave it to Canepa for an extensive restoration.

BTW, congrats on the film find!
Yep the Talladega body work was sitting in the corner. Should have gotten a picture of that.

It was fun to just walk around a talk with Rob about the cars. His first big purchase was a Ferrari F40 - still has sitting there and he occasionally drives it. He also talked pretty highly of his 959.

Thanks.

I'd share the film here, but were holding it back until it is restored (hopefully) and determine how to best share it with a larger audience.
