Bernie Ecclestone Sells Historic F1 Car Collection

Bernie Ecclestone, the former head of Formula One, is selling his extensive collection of 69 historic Formula 1 cars, valued at over £300 million. This remarkable assortment includes iconic vehicles driven by legends like Michael Schumacher, Niki Lauda, and Mike Hawthorn, and showcases over 70 years of Grand Prix racing history. At 94 years old, Ecclestone has decided to part with his collection to ensure their future ownership is resolved, stating he doesn't want his wife to deal with them after his passing. The collection highlights notable cars like Schumacher's championship-winning Ferrari and Sir Stirling Moss's Vanwall. The sale will be managed by Tom Hartley Jnr Ltd and will not be conducted through auction, allowing for private buyers only. Ecclestone's decision reflects a desire for transparency and to confirm the legacy of his prized vehicles before he is no longer around.
