  • Originally known as its designated project number 640, the Ferrari F1-89 was Ferrari’s entry into the 1989 FIA Formula One World Championship. Driven by future World Champion Nigel Mansell and Gerhard Berger, the F1-89 was the first Ferrari chiefly conceived by innovative British designer John Barnard. Complicated technology and communications difficulties with Barnard, who was working from England at the time, dragged out the car’s development. However, when it finally did emerge, it was seen by the other constructors, thanks to its incredible pace and extremely clean-looking form, as a shining example of superb engineering and aerodynamics. The F1-89 was powered by a naturally aspirated 65-degree V12 cylinder engine, with 600 bhp at 12,000 rpm, and sported a sharp nose, with a narrow monocoque and bulging side-pods designed to house the radiators with maximum aerodynamic efficiency. With innovative aerodynamics and pushrod suspension with torsion bars instead of the classic coil springs, the F1-89 was fitted with a revolutionary semi-automatic gearbox, activated by the driver on the steering wheel. The semi-automatic gearbox was Barnard’s solution to the problem of the long manual actuation mechanism, but it was Ferrari who had pioneered this technology a decade earlier, eventually postponing the project due to a lack of advanced electronics at the time. Though the gearbox proved to be unreliable during the season, hampering Ferrari’s efforts, it more than proved its worth, and such gearboxes would become the norm by the mid-1990s.

    Nigel Mansell, personally selected by Enzo Ferrari, joined the Scuderia for the 1989 season, partnering with Gerhard Berger. ‘Il Leone’ made a quick impression, winning the season-opening race in Brazil. The potential of the car was clear; on outright pace alone, the F1-89 was a leader. However, the reliability of the new technology soon proved to be the major concern for Ferrari and neither driver would see the chequered flag until the French Grand Prix six races later. There were to be no races in which both drivers finished, as the F1-89 suffered nineteen retirements from a possible thirty, including five double retirements, and yet, when the F1-89 reached the chequered flag, it never failed to finish on the podium. Mansell would win again in Hungary, as well achieving as second place finishes in the French and British Grand Prix and third places in Germany and Belgium. Berger only managed to finish three races all season, winning in Portugal and achieving second place finishes in Italy and Spain. Despite the poor reliability, the F1-89 would earn 59 points towards the Constructors’ Championship, allowing Ferrari to claim third place behind McLaren and Williams.

    This 1:8 scale model is of the Ferrari F1-89 as raced by Nigel Mansell and Gerhard Berger during the XLII Shell British Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit on the 16th of July 1989. Mansell qualified in third at Silverstone with Berger in fourth, behind the McLarens of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost. The Ferrari duo started the race cleanly, letting their main rivals battle into the first corner. Berger pulled into the pits with electrical issues, rejoining the race several laps later. Senna span into the gravel on the entry to Becketts on lap 12, due to gear selection issues, promoting Prost into the lead and Mansell into second. The leading pair extended their lead over the rest of the field, Prost maintaining a slim advantage over the British racer. On lap 42, Mansell developed a puncture on his front right tyre, forcing him to pit, handing full advantage to the Frenchman. Prost was delayed on his own scheduled pit stop but returned to the track with a healthy lead over Mansell. Prost reached the chequered flag 19 seconds ahead of Mansell, with a further 29 second gap to the Benetton of Alessandro Nannini completing the podium. Berger ultimately retired on lap 49 with a mechanical issue.

    The 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari F1-89 is limited to only 199 pieces.

    On the fence? This is the sheepskin to get!
    Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Wolf Tipped
    I've been reading all the reviews for sheepskins on AMZ and felt this company was the one to go for and WOW did they deliver! The sheepskin came well wrapped but not vacuum packed and is even prettier in person than the pictures. It is super soft, fluffy and dense and mine measured 26" x 40". I absolutely love the wolf tipped colors: ivory, dark grey and a slight brownish hue. There is a slight odor but I don't find it offensive. It stayed put on my leather couch and sitting on it during a Netflix movie was heavenly warm and comfortable. I did not observe any shedding. Will definitely buy another wolf tipped one, once it becomes available as it is worth the money.

    Gorgeous 😍
    Size: 2' x 6' (Natural), Color: Champagne, Size: 2' x 6' (Natural), Color: Champagne
    Absolutely beautiful!!! It is thick and luxurious, super soft and cozy. It’s really high quality and it shows. You can tell it’s natural without the burn test even from its cute little curls. All brushed (your pet brush is perfect 😉) out it looks stunning and fluffy. I got the champagne color and I love it! I don’t see any seams on the double pelt and it is substantial, not at all like it will disintegrate in a few years, but rather will become a much loved family heirloom. Well worth the investment! It is absolutely heavenly to perform yoga on by the fire 😌I love taking my slippers off and feeling the soft fur. I don’t want to get off it lol. I understand all those other customer’s kids and cats 🤣😂🤣

    I bought a ‘Genuine Sheepskin Rug Double Pelt Natural White Fur 2x6’ from Amazon in 2011 for $112.49, and recently decided to recommission it in my new living room. It looked so nice that I decided to add a second rug, and was pleased to find what Amazon claimed to be the same rug still available for only $83.78. Now I’m not one of those silly folks who expects the color and/or size of a natural product like a sheepskin rug to be perfectly predictable, and my living room is large enough that I didn’t need the two rugs to match perfectly, but when the new rug arrived, I couldn’t have been more disappointed. It was about 40% smaller than my older rug, was way, way off from anything that could be called white, and looked cheap, old, and tattered. I tried to comb it out a bit to see if I could make it look presentable, but it was a lost cause. Amazon to the rescue. I returned the rug to Amazon for a full refund the next morning, and the transaction couldn’t have been simpler. And I immediately ordered the ‘Genuine Sheepskin Rug Double Pelt Natural White Fur 2x6’ shown on this page from Super Area Rugs for $119.00. What a difference! These rugs are large, plush, and super soft. The quality of these rugs is obvious, much, much nicer that either my old sheepskin rug or the ‘bargain’ rug I returned to Amazon. I was so impressed with the quality of this rug that I immediately ordered a second, which arrived this morning (it matches the other rug perfectly). My older sheepskin has been reassigned to another room because, well, it’s not in the same league as my two new rugs, which look terrific together. As is so often the case, you get what you pay for. So if you’re looking for a top quality sheepskin rug, this is the one you want.

    Very nice fleeces
    This is a clean, soft, well groomed fleece intended for use on a 6 foot long sofa, so bought 2. They moved too much as a result of shifting bodies on the leather couch, so will get a longer version, sewn bottom to bottom, and used each of these fleeces on both armrests, instead.

    Excellent Product!!! Will purchase again!
    Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Wolf Tipped
    Instead of ordering a cover for reclining loveseats, I chose to drape one of these over the headrest on either end of our loveseat. Not only do they protect the leather, they also help to elevate our decor. The rugs were received in a very timely manner. They are super soft, & warming as we move into the winter months. We've had family & friends comment on how great they look. 2 of them have already ordered, & added them to their sofa/loveseat/recliner decor. Have an issue of them slipping, add some velcro in between the crook of the cushion & the back of the furniture piece. It doesn't show & will help to keep the rug in place; if your busy body.!
