sam says"We've had the honour of handling three FW08 transactions in recent years, and on each occasion the new custodians have been nothing less than elated with their purchase. Having driven several, I can understand why: it is - by far - the finest handling grand prix car I've ever experienced, genuinely sublime, with a natural balance that, frankly, makes life so easy for the driver when compared to other cars of the era. Quick enough for Monaco victories, quick enough for overall victories in Masters. As I said in our track test film, it's just… magic."
