The Bonhams auction house is auctioning off two cars driven by Michael Schumacher in early February.
Michael Schumacher (53) fans have the opportunity to bid on two cars that were once driven by the Formula 1 legend himself. British auction house Bonhams is selling a 2010 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Estate and a Tesla Roadster from the same year.
Those are the two cars
The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Estate, which is said to be luxuriously equipped, was given to Schumacher in early 2010 as part of his Formula 1 comeback with Mercedes as his company car. Schumacher is said to have driven it by the end of July and the mileage is said to be around 152,000 kilometers. The auction house estimates that the car will probably fetch between 50,000 euros and 100,000 euros.
With an estimated price of 135,000 euros to 200,000 euros the Tesla Roadster is expected to be be significantly more expensive. This was driven by Schumacher during the 2010 Race of Champions in Düsseldorf. Other racing stars such as Sebastian Vettel (34), Alain Prost (66) and Sébastien Loeb (47) also took part in the event. The Tesla is therefore still in racing configuration and has no more than 15,000 kilometers on the counter. In addition, three racers have signed on the car Loeb, Travis Pastrana (38) and probably Andy Priaulx (47) – which has yet to be verified.
