I wish he would have tried to save the stickers instead of blasting them away ,
Hopefully he has some photos when the car was raced !
i don't speak the language but I wonder if that is a car or a scale model/frame/etc.
Also without shocks, drivetrain, seat, steering wheel, provenance what is something like that worth? It might not be worth much and as such it wouldn't surprise me if it had been stuffed in a barn, stored in appropriately.
Probably a static display car. Not that I wouldn't want it to hang on my garage wall.

It's French. It's mostly stream of consciousness, but he says he has the interior and in another video he says he has the brakes and drivetrain. There's also a short of an "F1 graveyard" and a tour of his three "F1" cars, one of which seems to be road registered.
Real F1 cars? Probably not, especially not Ferraris. But I'll bet they're fun to play with.
I thought it was a display model and or an F3000 car.
Anyone notice that the background music is the mashup of the music to AC/DC's Back in Black to the lyrics of The Bee Gees?
The guy has a bunch of other vintage F1 cars, which makes it even more surprising that he thought it was a decent idea to simply powerwash one like a cheap kayak:
In reply to GameboyRMH :
I think it's because he still thinks of them as machines as not as some sort of static piece of fossilized provenance.
In reply to Keith Tanner :
My cringing at him doing that is because I'm thinking of them as machines - spectacularly complex ones packed with electronics that were maybe designed to survive a rainstorm for a couple hours at most...when they were new.
In reply to GameboyRMH :
Guess it depends on what's under that bodywork at the moment. There may not be much. I think he says in another video that it doesn't have a powertrain and he does say the interior is out of it at the time of the de-mossifying. Based on his "F1 graveyard" video, it wasn't so much a barn find as a sitting on a trailer in a field find.
