Good point, fair enough. I suppose when you see them all the time and you associate them with hill billies you wonder.

Yep, an ex-Schumacher Benetton B194. Complete with illegal traction control.

The rest of the site includes Schumi's B191, various other F1 cars, and various other race cars in general.

That guy's asking price is too low. That car is a piece of F1 history, for God's sake. It should be worth at least twice that.


And, to be absolutely pedantic, someone is advertising a "1985 Benetton". He should have a bit of a knock on the head and be told to look through F1 history: the team which was Benetton from 1985 was called Toleman in 1985! That car is a Toleman-Hart TG185. The first Benetton was the 1986 Benetton-BMW B186.
