This car is in fully working driveable condition. Its not the only one in existence, there are at least 3 others.
For those thinking Nigel was a bit of a porker he was a third dan blackbelt during his time in F1 and for 1992 weighed in less than (not a well known porker) Riccardo Patrese
I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
You have clearly watched that 1992 Mansell and Williams Video For those thinking Nigel was a bit of a porker he was a third dan blackbelt during his time in F1 and for 1992 weighed in less than (not a well known porker) Riccardo Patrese
I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
He was far from a porker, but MS brought in a new level of fitness compared to the other drivers of that era.
I watched every race in 1992 (TV of course) and watching him cross that line at 1992 at Silverstone was pretty special. Stand out memory of my youth. Same for Hill winning the championship in 96.
If I won the Euro Millions, I would buy it for a million
My parents met Nigel and his wife at a dinner several years later. Said they were both very nice people. His wife especially.

Nigel pushed the team, pushed the suppliers and was a real leader aligned with supreme physical strength and fitness. His 92 season at that point was unheard of domination

£2,400,000 of someone’s British Pounds. Well bought whoever you are, would be nice to see it up the hill next year.
Has it just been sold at the auction? I thought it was Saturday civicduty said:

Heard from someone who was at the auction that James Martin and Bernie Ecclestone were bidding on it, with Ecclestone winning.
We'll not see that car again until it passes on to someone else.
If Ecclestone bought it that's an unfair comment, you may not like him but he has often allowed display of his car collection. We'll not see that car again until it passes on to someone else.
