Did you ever have the opportunity to own a part(any kind) from a f1 car? I'm not talking about souvenirs but

Question

a actual part that was used in a race. do you have a mini hall of fame with f1 stuff in your home?

Answer 1

No... but I always wanted to buy some of it when I used to go to the F1 shop in Chester.... I'd see things like endplates off McLaren's and once Damon Hill's nosecone off his 97 Arrows... but a tyre in my living room would be cool as a table... but I don't think my girlfriend would have the same enthusiasm for it lol.. it would have to be an old Goodyear slick though.. none of this grooved rubbish...

Answer 2

Well I have some of the rubber marbles from the tyres, does that count? Oh and a pair of oil soaked mechanics gloves that actually worked on Kimi's McLaren so I suppose yes. Oil is a very important part of a car is it not:)

My brother-in-law has some gear ratio's from Minardi.

Answer 3

Tempted every september!

Near where I live, in the New Forest in England there is a massive autojumble of everything to do with cars ( Beaulieu autojumble), there is always bits of F1 cars there. A few years ago a early 1990s Benetton was auctioned there, though at £52,000, it was a little out of my price range......

Answer 4

I don't, but you know what I really fancy? It's an F1 tyre - a Bridgestone or a Michelin, used or new doesn't bother me, but I would really like to have one of those sitting in my lounge room. I would put a sheet of glass on top of it and make it a coffee table.
