Movie airs Sep 27


A 1979 Renault Estafette decked in a Ferrari livery from Ron Howard's "Rush" movie will be auctioned.




This particular vehicle was used its entire life as a fire van in a small town on the French/Swiss border. More importantly, the Estafette travelled to UK in 2012 to star in "Rush" and was restored in the correct factory paint with period-correct decals, while on the roof there are Avon racing tires from that era. The van was turned into a replica of an original Estafette that Ferrari had during Niki Lauda's period.




The Ferrari-themed Estafette is expected to fetch anywhere between 15,000 GBP (23,360 USD) and 20,000 GBP (31,200 USD) when it will go under the hammer on Sunday at the CarFest South Sale at Laverstoke Farm in UK.
