Jordan Grand Prix Collection

[Moneyseeker]

This may be better in the Historic section, but the Jordan Collection is selling two Jordan F1 cars and associated items in aid of CLIC Sargent and Amber Foundation

Eddie Jordan commented, “These two F1 cars were kept because of their history, the good memories and what they meant to the team. But it’s time to let them go and the money will be used to good effect helping young people and their families cope with cancer (CLIC Sargent) and getting young adults back on the straight and narrow (Amber Foundation).”

The collection includes the first Jordan Grand Prix car ever built, chassis number 01. Designed by Gary Anderson, 191 is a highly significant car as it was driven by Michael Schumacher. It comes complete with Michael’s original helmet, signed and given to Eddie Jordan personally by the now seven times World Champion to express his gratitude for his first Grand Prix racing opportunity!

The second car in the collection is the first Grand Prix winning Jordan chassis 198. This car was driven to victory by Damon Hill ahead of team mate Ralf Schumacher in the 1998 Belgium Grand Prix and comes complete with the Constructor’s World Championship trophy won on that historic day, as well as Damon’s race suit and his helmet.

Particularly poignant that MS's 1st F1 car is being sold at this difficult time for the family, although I am sure they would approve of the charitable objective.

IRC, Schumacher tried to buy that car several times and EJ would not sell.

Good to see it is going for charity. I am sure it will fetch a large sum.
