I think the estimates are quite conservative! 25-35 grand can get JVilleneuves 1996 car that had a race win and a number of 2nd place and 3rd place finishes? Would of thought it would be more like 250grand.
Some recent cars are estimated at 20-30k? Yeah right!

Some stuff seems a bit undervalued, but I cant see the JB car going for much more. Its not like hes Schumacher! The Hill / Mansell cars will go that high probably but I cant see the 1:2 scale models being twice the estimate.

I wonder if Frank has another building off site with another similar collection of cars, he is shrewd enough that's for sure, it seems a shame to sell off all your history but in business sometimes you need to generate cash.

Hi Alan,
I read somewhere that he is just clearing out the excess, as they are running out of space - even with a number of cars loaned to the Donnington Collection and Beaulieu.
I reckon that he is probably shrewd enough to hold on to the history of the team.
