Schumacher's first 'points' car up for auction

The car in which seven time World Champion Michael Schumacher scored his first ever Grand Prix points is to be auctioned at COYS' sale in Nurburgring, Germany on 10th August.

This Benetton F1 Ford Cosworth is a direct derivative of the B194 in which he took his first title in 1994.

It is eligible for any historic Grand Prix events and remains highly competitive. There is also a comprehensive file documenting the car's history, restoration and its most recent race-preparation last year.

Other cars under the hammer on the day include a 1938 BMW/AFM 328 Roadster ex Gunther Bechem/German GP and a unique Lancia Aprilla Riva Spider (pictured left).
