UK Lot 205: Brabham 1991 BT60Y Ex Martin Brundle Formula One Car
Brabham is a name synonymous with racing success. Jack Brabham was a three-time Formula One World Champion and won his last Championship in a team and car bearing his own name. It is a feat which has never been repeated. Team Brabham went on to win further World Championships with Denny Hulme and Nelson Piquet, whilst multiple race wins were also achieved with the likes of Graham Hill, Jacky Ickx, Carlos Reutemann and Niki Lauda.
This car, chassis 001, was used by Brundle in the San Marino Grand Prix where he qualified 18th on the grid and finished 11th in the race. It was also used in practice by the team for the Monaco Grand Prix and then acted as the primary spare car for the rest of the year.
Sold today as a ‘show car’ complete with its original gearbox casing, but without the engine and other running gear, it represents a wonderful opportunity to own a fantastic display piece with genuine Brabham Formula One race history and provenance. Estimate – £50,000 – £75,000.
UK Lot 171: 1:1 Ferrari 250 TR 58 (0704) Nose Sculpture
This 1:1 scale nose sculpture (pictured) is an exact replica of that on Ferrari 250 TR 58 chassis #0704. The car was one of the most significant Ferraris of its era, having been raced as a works car by the likes of Mike Hawthorn, Peter Collins, Olivier Gendebien, Masten Gregory, Wolfgang Von Trips and Phil Hill.
This stunning sculpture was made from a buck taken from the car when it was restored in the 2000s and has been manufactured using the traditional methods of the time. It features an original Ferrari badge, Marchal lights and is painted to match the car it emulates. Estimate – £12,500 – £17,500.
UK Lot 202: 1988 Ayrton Senna McLaren MP4/4 front screen
The McLaren MP4/4 is without a doubt one of the greatest racing cars. Driven by Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, the duo won 15 out of 16 races in 1988. Senna went on to win the World Championship with 13 pole positions and 8 wins.
This front windscreen was used on one of Senna’s cars in that famous season and comes with a letter of authenticity from his mechanic, Neil Trundle, as having Senna-specific history. This screen, a short variant, was his screen of choice, and can be seen in multiple races during his McLaren career. Estimate – £5,000 – £7,000.
UK Lot 109: Max Verstappen 2018 original Red Bull overalls
Formula One driver Max Verstappen won three consecutive Formula One World Drivers’ Championship titles from 2021 to 2023 with Red Bull and is currently poised to retain his crown in the 2024 season.
These Puma overalls were used by Verstappen during the 2018 season, when he won two Grand Prix, scored 249 points, and appeared on the podium a total of eleven times. Authenticated by the Hall of Fame Collection, and complete with a Certificate of Authenticity, they are a wonderful piece of contemporary Formula One history and a must-have for any enthusiast. Estimate – £15,000 – £20,000.
