It's an action - no set prices! Link doesn't really give any detailed information though. I assume, there's reserves.

Sorry, I should have written 'I wonder how much the cars will go for'

Probably bargains to be had. Power plants are missing, after all. wink

Fascinating photos, I would imagine they were working with the absolute bare minimum needed to run an F1 team, looking at their set-up.

Shame it's not online by the looks of it, a nose cone or something would be quite cool.

It is online - webcast from the sale, bid remotely as if "in the room."

That looks such a sad sight. All that effort over the last few years & that's all that is left.

Makes it worse with what happened to Jules.

Not sure I would compare an underfunded, bottom of the pile racing team going out of business with dying from the complications of a fairly horrific racing accident...

The full catalogue is now up, some interesting stuff on there.

I was surprised by quite how much server/ storage stuff they had.

I'm also guessing some of the more "normal" stuff has gone off to a local auction house (like printers and generic pc's).

They are episodes in the same trilogy. A somewhat depressing one, as manifested by the finality of this bankruptcy sale.

What a sad sight!

They were a proper race team, and were actually pretty decent given the mess that is F1/motorsport.
