Ecclestone, 94, ran F1 for four decades and his lot of 69 cars — which spans 70 years of Grand Prix racing — is considered to be the greatest assembly of motor racing machines in the world. — Picture via FacebookDOHA, Dec 2 — Bernie Ecclestone, the former chief of Formula One, has made the decision to sell his entire collection of Formula One cars, which is expected to be worth more than £300 million .
British driver Stirling Moss’ 1958 Vanwall — and his compatriot Mike Hawthorn’s title-winning Ferrari from the same season — have been made available to buyers. “After collecting and owning them for so long, I would like to know where they have gone and not leave them for my wife to deal with should I not be around.”
“A Grand Prix and in particular a Formula One car is far more important than any road car or other form of race car, as it is the pinnacle of the sport, and all the cars I have bought over the years have fantastic race histories and are rare works of art.
