Ecclestone to sell collection of 69 F1 cars

The Straits Times

|

December 03, 2024

Former Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone is selling off what has been billed as the greatest collection of grand prix cars ever assembled.

The 69 cars date from the start of the F1 championship in 1950 and include examples raced by champions Alberto Ascari, Mike Hawthorn, Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet and Michael Schumacher.

A highlight is the one-off and controversial Brabham BT46B "fan car", named after the huge down-force-generating fan, that Lauda raced to victory in Sweden in 1978 before it was withdrawn.

"I love all of my cars but the time has come for me to start thinking about what will happen to them should I no longer be here, and that is why I have decided to sell them," said Ecclestone, 94, in a statement.

"After collecting and owning them for so long, I would like to know where they have gone and not leave them for my wife to deal with should I not be around."
