Ex-F1 supremo🦂 Bernie Ecclestone has put his legendary collection of cars up for 🤪sale.

The collection consists of 69 cars, ranging from a 1931 Bugatti Type 54S to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher’s iconic 2022 championship-winni🗹ng Ferrari F1 ca🐬r.

The 94-year-old is selling i෴t🦄 off through UK-based performance car specialist Tom Hartley Jnr.

Other highlights from 🐻the collection include F1 cars driven by champions such as Mike Hawthorn🥀, Niki Lauda and Schumacher.

A number ♛of Brabhams, t꧂he team which Ecclestone owned during the 1970s and 1980s, also feature.

Ecclestone is keen to sell his collection as he would “like to know where they have gone” and ඣnot make it a j🦩ob for his wife, Fabiana Ecclestone, in the coming years.

“I have been collecting these cars for more than 50🐭 yea🦹rs, and I have only ever bought the best of any example,” Ecclestone said.

“I love all of my cars, but the 🐬time has come for me to start thinking about what will happen to them should I no longer be here, and that is whyꦯ I have decided to sell them.

“After collecti💟ng and owning them fo🍎r so long, I would like to know where they have gone, and not leave them for my wife to deal with should I not be around.”

Hartley Jnr confirmed th💯e collection is worth “well into the꧟ hundreds of millions”.

He added: “Ther🉐e are many eight-figure car༒s within the collection, and the value of the collection combined is well into the hundreds of millions.

“The collec💜tion spans 70 years of racing, but for me ওthe highlight has to be the Ferraris.

“There is the famous 'Thin Wall Special', which was the first Ferrari to ever beat Alfa Romeo, Alberto Ascari's Italian GP-winning 375 F1 and historically significant cham🃏pionship-winning Lauda and Schumacher cars.”

A tough time for Ecclestone

The𒀰 former F1 boss has had a tough year, becoming the 𒆙UK’s second biggest tax payer.

He was forced to▨ pay the hefty settlement after he was found guilty of failing to declare more 𝕴than £400m held in a trust in Singapore.

Ecclestone was♓ spared jail after he agreed to pay £652.6m in tax.

Ecclestone was 𒆙in charge of F1 for over 40 years, with the sport becoming increasingly popular under his stewardship.

His tenure came to an 💛end in 2017 when Liberty Media acquired ownership. 

Since then, Ecclestone has onඣly made sporadic F1 paddock a🎃ppearances.

He caused a stir when he claimed he and former FIA president Max Mosley knew about the events of ‘Crashgate’ - when Renault fixed a race to ensure 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso won the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix.

This in turn had an impact on the 2008 title race and is potentially the reason 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Felipe Massa didn’t win the world championship.

Following Ecclestone’s in⛄itial admission - which he later denied - Mas𝐆sa pursued legal action.
