The car is
not "ex", but still Isolani property (except for some ... bank bond
) and I know very well because I have seen birth.

She never had a robo F1 gearbox of the Challenge, but from the beginning a sequential X-Track.
This car has NEVER run on track but always and only in Italian and Europe hillclimbs.
And it never -NEVER- walk on Michelotto' factory in Padua, of course ...
This is not a conversion, but it was born NGT spec, from begining tuned for hillclimbs race and made originally by High Speed Racing Engineering from Genova in 2003.
Absolute debut in Monte Erice 2003, first round of 2003 Italian Hillclimb Championship.
Year by year this car was driven by team principal Leo Isolani until 2004 and 2005, when Isolani win the FIA European Hillclimb GT Trophy (all two season)
In 2006 Isolani jump on Ferrari 575 and this car passed to Stefano Pierdomenico (also in Isolani Racing Team) who won GT2 +3.0 cc Class Cup in Italian Hillclimb Championship. The Cup goes to Pierdomenico (always with THIS car) also in 2007 and 2008.
Between 2009 and 2010 this car was driven by Evans Lanfranco, Guido Cianciulli and Elena Croce and in 2010 this car (always this car and always in Isolani Racing Team) give to Giacomo Fiertler the GT2 +3.0 cc Class Cup in Italian Hillclimb Championship.
Three races also in 2011 with Pierdavide Sofia and then the stop until 2016.
Meanwhile, Isolani has tried to solve the dramatic budget problems of the team (I am still waiting for two remuneration annuality never received ...), but keeping its three Ferrari tight (one 360 Challenge, one 575 GTC and this one 360 NGT) and in late 2015 managed to transport them to Tenerife. All three cars.
Finally, this car played two hillclimbs in Tenerife at the end of 2016 with the new Canarias driver of ... "Isolani Team Canarias"
I write all this because I am the one who has ALWAYS designed and made the livery of this car (and other Isolani's Ferrari), having worked for Isolani Team from the beginning (2000) until 2012. And right now, the base livery of this car remain the one I made in 2011 ...
Right to say, from 2000 until 2003/2004 the team was "Rubicone Corse". Isolani Racing Team born in 2004/2005.
