Is that the same car he sued Brawn in court for? It would be rather unusual for a driver to own 2 separate F1 cars. Or maybe Jenson sued his bosses twice for cars.

Anyone buying the car would have the satisfaction of knowing he owned the car that Ross Brawn was dragged through the courts for after saving Jenson from unemployment and giving him a WDC

Wasn't it the Brawn that Ross neglected his contract obligations?

[Ichabod]

Technically it was Mercedes that took over the contract, and it was Mercedes Button began proceedings against not Brawn.

Must be the same car, nice bit of business for Jenson if he sells it. Hasnt got an engine tho, you would have to be a museum or collector

Yeah, it was his championship winning BGP001, not this one.

[What's Burning?]

It used to be you couldn't get rid of old racecars. The handful of Shelby Daytonas run were gotten rid of originally for a couple thousand bucks just to make space in the shops since they'd been sitting around taking up room. They fetch now 10 million, go figure.
