Buy one of those engines, get some glass cut out in a circle, turn it into a table. I wouldnt mind the 1995 Benetton.
 
That can't be the Benneton that Schumacher won his championship in because the Sultan of Brunei owns that.
 
I've always wanted to do the table thing and have something like this:

Schumacher won the championship in both 1994 and 1995 for Benetton. The one for sale is the '94 car, you might be thinking of the '95 car.

I realise it's the 94 car but the guy owns pretty much every championship winning car from the last three decades.

And you seriously think benetton only ran 1 chassis for the entire season? :hammer:
 
I think drivers tend to use the chassis they're given through-out the season unless they have a big accident or simply wear the chassis out. Teams build up to eight or nine per season to use for the test team and as spares/alternatives.
 
I remember that in the F1 Racing magazine, they publish a website that sell used F1 cars. Martin Brundell, i think is involve in the business. I don't remember which magazine issue, but i think Michael Schumacher Ferrari F1 car is also sell there.

They don't have a new chasis for every race and Alonso managed to keep using the same one all last season.

I have seen multiple benettons from both 94 and 95 for sale on that site before, so schumi did use more than one chassis, also it is well known that he use multiply Ferrari chassis durring the championship years, Frank Mountain bought an ex-Schumi car from 2000, which was a championship year.
 
If I had to buy an old F1 car, I'd get the Jordan 191. Most beautiful F1 car ever. Hey there's a poll idea for you Paul :p

Because BMW withdrew from supplying engines to F1 cars at the end of 1986 and sold the rest of the stock to the US company Megatron who then had the engines prepared by the swiss engine shop Heini Mader for Arrows and Ligier for the 1987 and 1988 season. Brabham therefore had to use the still awful laydown configuration from their failed 1986 effort (BT55) in 1987 (BT56)

Still BMW badged, showing both uprigt and laydown version

I'd take the Benetton, any time. Starting it would be tricky, though. you have to press, and hold, the throttle pedal at 1mm (3100 rpm, 100 over idle) until the engine is warmed up. press it by one extra millimeter, and you run the risk of bits of a Cosworth V8 being spewed out of the exhaust. it has a red light on the steering wheel to let you know you are being a clot with that pedal before you start it. (though, how difficult would it have been to program a "cold-start" system into the computer?)

Still, if you can afford the car, you can afford the engine, which i believe runs about $50,000
