Chassis:
The second of two new cars built ahead of the 1989 season was first used as a spare for the Monaco Grand Prix. It was then raced by Patrese at the French, German, Hungarian and Italian Grands Prix. He finished fourth at the Hockenheimring and Monza, and also started from pole position in Hungary where he failed to finish. Following its contemporary racing career, it was retained by the team and was most likely used for promotional purposes for several years. It was then sold with an incomplete engine to its first private owner. Retained in this guise for many years, it was eventually consigned to the 2022 RM Sotheby's St Moritz sale.
