Formula 1 driver purchases Classic car

August was a busy month for the Nick Whale Sportscar business thanks to our new and improved website. We sold 2 race cars, 2 classic cars and 7 modern sportscars. In addition we undertook 2 private sale commissions and successfully found cars for both customers.
One private client, Mike Donovan, who is an accomplished and very successful national racing driver, bought a beautiful low mileage Ferrari 575 M Maranello that we were able to find and research for him.
Additionally, we were very proud to sell a car to another private client - the distinguished Formula 1 driver Nick Heidfeld - who has recently signed for the Swiss Sauber Formula 1 team to replace Pedro de La Rosa for the last 5 races of this season, and to spearhead their 2011 line up. Nick has also recently had the welcome addition of son number 3 arrive and marked the occasion with a very special car to add to his private collection.
I thank them, and all our valued clients, for their business and wish them well for the rest of the racing season.
Our Shelby Mustang GT350H finished a very creditable 8 th overall in the Gentleman Drivers 2 hour enduro recently at the re-opening of Donington Park, prooving once again the car's exceptional reliability. Congrats to my son Harry on fastest lap and bringing the car home safe and sound, and also his 21st birthday which is on Sat 18th of September.

Next stop- Portimao in Portugal and Monteblanco in Spain both happening mid October 2010.
