The car in which seven time World Champion Michael Schumacher scored his first Grand Prix points will be auctioned at COYS’ sale in Nürburgring, Germany, on Saturday, August 10.
This Benetton F1 Ford Cosworth is a forerunner of the B194, in which Schumacher took his first title in 1994. It is eligible for any historic Grand Prix events and appeared at Goodwood‘s Festival of Speed in 2003 and 2004.
The car is offered in race-ready condition with Pi dashboard, a data acquisition system and all equipment necessary to run and drive the car, including a spare set of wheels and assorted spare components.
It also includes a comprehensive file documenting the car’s history, restoration and its most recent race-preparation last year.
Chris Routledge, Managing Director of COYS, said: “This is a stunning and fine handling racing car. B191 05 represents a highly important piece of both Benetton and Michael Schumacher’s history. It is an opportunity not to be missed.” – Auto Middle East
