DAVID HALLYDAY & PHILIPPE ALLIOT ABSOLUTE HISTORICAL RARITY & UNDULY TRACELESS IN 18/25 Ferrari 550 Maranello GTS "Igol" FIA GT Silverstone 2002 – AUTO BARN "Signature Series" ULTRA-EXCLUSIVE SERIES WITH AUTHENTIC SIGNATURES OF THE DRIVERS: DAVID HALLYDAY & PHILIPPE ALLIOT THE CULMINATING POINT OF THIS LOT: THE AUTHENTIC SIGNATURES OF DAVID HALLYDAY & PHILIPPE ALLIOT This model goes far beyond model-making: it is a piece of motorsport history and exceptional memorabilia. • The Certified "Autograph" Effect: The official brushed metal nameplate incorporates the authentic, handwritten, and certified signatures of the official drivers: the renowned artist and driver David Hallyday as well as former Formula 1 driver Philippe Alliot, who tamed this power monster during the mythical Silverstone race in the FIA GT 2002 championship. • Absolute authenticity proof included: Faithful to the strictest requirements of the Signature Series collection, the case contains the official period photo showing the drivers personally signing the series. This precious historical document serves as indisputable COA (certificate of authenticity) and accompanies the model, carefully preserved inside the sealed yellow box. • The "Hallyday" collection factor: The presence of David Hallyday’s signature creates a dual collectible niche of absolute rarity, appealing both to purists of the prancing horse and to enthusiasts of high-end historical and personal items tied to the Hallyday universe. Luxurious display case – Brand New/Unopened/Pure Inviolability/Factory Sealed PROVENANCE AND EXCEPTIONAL EXCLUSIVITY: A HOLY GRAIL FOR HIGH-FLYING COLLECTORS: We have the absolute privilege of presenting a historic centerpiece from the private collection of a great Ferrari aficionado, kept with the care of a master jeweler. More than a simple miniature, this lot comes from the prestigious and very exclusive elite collection "Signature Series" of AUTO BARN (Reference ABSS 057). Every detail of this case has been designed as a showcase of automotive high jewelry, but it is its historical authenticity, its tiny print run, and its pristine inviolability that make it a speculative object of exceptional desire. A TOTALLY INTROUVABLE CONFIDENTIAL PRINT RUN: ULTRA-LIMITED SERIES OF 25 PIECES WORLDWIDE (18/25) !!!! We reach the absolute pinnacle of global exclusivity: • A piece of artisan art: Forget mass-produced or hundreds-of-editions editions. The original label unambiguously attests to the elite character of this lot: it is exemplar number 18/25. • Only 25 copies in the world: Finding one of these 25 pieces on the market today is considered an impossible feat by specialists. Discovering exemplar 18/25 in a pristine stock condition, strictly never opened under its original film, is a miracle. A unique opportunity for investors and purists to own a piece that no other enthusiast will be able to find. A LUXURY DISPLAY CASE FOR A MASTERPIECE IN RESIN: • The Premium Exhibition Base: The miniature rests on a heavy, rigid, textured base, dressed with a refined coating that beautifully isolates the car and highlights the acid-etched metal plaque bearing the pilots’ signatures and the artisan numbering 18/25. • The High-Transparency Plexiglas Dome (Crystal Quality): Designed in superior quality plexiglass with reinforced thickness, it offers minimal refraction to admire the Ferrari’s lines without any distortion, while keeping it dust-free. • The Prestige Original Outer Packaging: The rigid yellow protective box repeats Auto Barn’s exclusive graphic charter and proudly features the official sticker identifying the Igol / Bouygues Telecom livery. MODEL HISTORY AND SUPERIORITY OF HAND-CAST RESIN: The Prodrive-developed Ferrari 550 Maranello GTS is one of the endurance racing legends of the 2000s. Equipped with a ferocious 6.0-liter V12 engine delivering around 600 horsepower, it dominated the FIA GT championship thanks to reliability and perfect balance. The Force One Racing livery, pairing iconic French Igol and Bouygues Telecom sponsors, is one of the most legendary and sought-after by French and international collectors. Unlike large-series die-cast miniatures, this model is entirely designed in premium polyurethane resin, hand-cast and assembled: • Surgical finesse of lines: Allows car-body thickness and aerodynamic curves of unprecedented sharpness not reproducible in metal. • Finishing and photochemical-cut details: Ultra-fine parts integration (radiator grilles, reticulated wipers, quick-release attachments). Every detail of the racing cockpit and the massive carbon rear wing is reproduced to the millimeter. • Prestige coat and finish: The paint is applied with microscopic precision, protected by a deep glossy varnish with an impeccably tight mirror finish, totally preserved from the ravages of time (no material degradation over the years). CONDITION AND PURE INVIOLABILITY: FACTORY SEALED The condition of this lot is simply impeccable and pristine: • Original thermoformed seal: The case is entirely preserved under its original factory thermoformed plastic film. This film has never been altered, pierced, or removed since leaving Auto Barn workshops in 2002. It is in strictly “factory fresh” condition. • Zero handling, the dome has NEVER been opened: This luxury case provides total inviolability. The display dome has never been lifted. Neither the miniature, nor the base bearing the authentic signatures of David Hallyday and Philippe Alliot, nor the glass dome have ever been touched by human hands or exposed to ambient air for nearly 25 years. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING PHOTOS (Buyers’ Notice): To guarantee the purchaser absolute integrity, strictly virgin character, and maximum value of this high-value lot, the box is shown closed to certify its “never opened” status. The future owner will have the exclusive privilege of breaking the seal on this original factory thermoformed film to discover the miniature as well as the driver photo certificate. Detailed packaging photos are proof of its impeccable condition. Please note that some whitish reflections or light lines visible in the images are only due to light refraction on the plastic film during shooting. They are not defects. ULTRA-SECURE & PROFESSIONAL SHIPPING: Because a rarity of this value demands exceptional handling: • Packaging: The miniature will be wrapped in a thick bubble wrap, carefully cushioned in a rigid double-wall carton to prevent any movement during transport. • Logistics: Ultra-fast shipping with international tracking number, insurance up to the final bid value, and signature-required delivery.
