After years of diligent research the whereabouts of this unique piece of original Ferrari luggage have been revealed:
Please read below:
Upon signing as Ferrari formula driver Michael S. was presented with his first company car:
Michael enjoyed driving his new Testarossa as much as possible.
During winter testing in Portugal in 1996 Michael's wife Corinna stayed home.
So he had to ask one of the staff members to clean his car:
He then asked her to pick up his luggage from the hotel so he could stay in the privacy of his motorhome...
Not experienced with the power and hot temper of the "redhead" the young lady ended up in a little fender bender:
Unfortunately she was still wearing her car wash outfit and had to make a speedy departure from the accident scene in another vehicle:
And that was when all of Michael's belongings disappeared. Of course the soon to be world champion (and watch enthusiast as you can see) didn't want to hear any of it when his wife asked about the details of the incident....
15 years later part of the luggage surfaced in a little country in central america and I was lucky enough to secure possession:
Slight stains on the left front corner, probably high viscosity engine oil or brake fluid..
The prancing horse in all it's glory...
Schuey's name is under the leather flap - take my word for it...
Master key set intact, also unlocks his deposit box at Credit Suisse...
From the master himself
Using it for my storage needs in the meantime...
Last but not least the mandatory wrist shot:
I hope you enjoyed my little fairy tail about this Franken-Collector Box
