An old Michael Schumacher racer is up for sale, adding an unusual twist to typical F1 legend auctions. Schumacher, a seven-time world champion, triumphed with Ferrari between 2000-2004, later returning with Mercedes from 2010-2012. A tribute to Schumacher at Monza this year honors his legendary career with the most victories at the track.
RM Sotheby’s presents a collection featuring Schumacher’s old racing motorbike, unique as he usually auctioned cars, customized for his transition to two wheels during test days. The one-off build 2010 Honda CBR conversion by Holzhauer Racing Performance is rare and priced between €25,000-€35,000 with a recommendation for a major service before use.
The F1 auction boasts signed items from Fernando Alonso, Nico Rosberg, and other legends. Highlights include Alonso’s 2013 signed racing boots (€3000-€5000) and Sebastian Vettel’s karting race suit (€4000-€6000). Ayrton Senna, Eddie Irvine, Rosberg, and Gilles Villeneuve are some of the other celebrated names in the ‘champions’ collection.
