Thanks Guys.

Yeah its weird looking at it knowing where its been. Its history spans 3 years as follows:

1985 PORTUGUESE GRAND PRIX - NIKI LAUDA - DNF
1985 CANADIAN GRAND PRIX - ALAIN PROST - 3RD
1986 BRAZILIAN GRAND PRIX - KEKE ROSBERG - DNF
1986 AUSTRIAN GRAND PRIX - ALAIN PROST - 1ST
1986 MEXICAN GRAND PRIX - ALAIN PROST - 2ND
1987 SAN MARINO GRAND PRIX - ALAIN PROST - DNF
1987 HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX - STEFAN JOHANSSON - DNF

Not the greatest history in F1- but still a great work of art!

You should rebuild the engine into it's former glory.
I had considered that but the parts are more or less impossible to come by. I really want the cylinder heads but think they are long gone!

Maybe not the greatest history, but it did power 3 world champions and has a winner's pedigree : that is probably the best coffee table I've ever seen ;)
