Yep, the car at the Marconi museum is chassis number 170, the one pictured in the original post was chassis 213, owned by Dr. Anthony Nobles (Tony). And yes, the lucky bastage has driven it! I wonder if he'll adopt me?

F1-2001 owner, Californian Tony Nobles, was one of the lucky few to negotiate the challenging Tremblant track in a modern Ferrari F1 car. He has a background in Historic racing, something he’s been involved in for some twenty years. He was one of the first F1 Corse Clienti clients, taking delivery of his mount at Mugello. And, as mentioned earlier, had no-one less than the Meister Michael Schumacher give him advice and a pep talk before going off on his recognizance laps in his new racer.
The Ferrari Festival was Tony’s first-ever experience at Tremblant so he had quite the steep learning curve. However, with the telemetry available and the helpful advice of team engineer Andrea
Galletti, he was able to improve with every lap. It’s a track he truly enjoyed, especially Turn 1 where the track goes up from the start straight and then dips down into a right-hander at Turn 2.
