Mike430 · 03-30-2011, 05:45 AM

The Ferrari 512BB owned by Formula 1 driver and 2009 World Champion Jenson Button is for sale. This car will be auctioned at the Collectors’ Motor Cars and Automobilia on the 11th of April in the RAF Museum, Hendon (UK).

While Button purchased the car last year with 49,100 miles on the clock, he only drove the car a further 155 miles. According to Button, his F1 commitments will not enable him to enjoy the car to its fullest.

The car is estimated to be worth € 100,000 – € 130,000.

Somehow as an American, right drive Boxers always look extra special to me. Same with most Rolls-Royce models.
