Schumacher's B194 Being Sold on Ebay
Posted by EC83
I know a not dissimilar thread to this was posted some time back, but still, this made me smile:
The price for it has reached £1.5million, apparently.
But the best bit, predictably, is the casual listing of the car's features:
Interested buyers needn't worry too much about maintenance costs either: the 800bhp, paddle-shift, traction control-equipped car comes with boxes containing dozens of spare parts, including everything a keen home mechanic needs to keep the car on the road.

Awesome! LMAO!
Little fact - the Sultan of Brunei actually owns every single drivers' championship winning F1 car since 1980 - what a collection! :O And where possible, the last cars from the final races of the season.
Alleged example being Villeneuve's 1997 damaged suspension! Cool!
Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it

Lol, I think this has come up like two or three times before, but every time it does raise a smile. 
The price is already up to £2.3m!
Obviously the buyer is looking if they can work out how to turn the TC on, because it seemed Benetton didn't know how to turn it on!

I remember Bernie shared his collection at Bahrain this year, but i'm not sure if there were other cars involved.

Er, that's the 1992 one. In the Monaco shot, you can even see the wrecked bodywork where Schumacher had rammed it.
There is a mention of Ferrari in 1989 at the start of the article, but it looks like 1989 is only being mentioned as a reference point.

Great looking car, pity it was awful
Races: 163 - Wins: 23 - Pole Positions: 24 - Fastest Laps: 22
Season 9: Constructors' Champions

LOL, £100,000 starting price for a 1989 Eurobrun! That's on the optimistic side is it not?
Wonder what kind of car they'd need to be selling for us to be able to afford it? Maybe a Life or something.

I thought it was primarily Bernies collection with his old Auto Uninions taking centre stage, alongside some of his Brabhams.
"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL
