If anyone is looking to upgrade this car is up for auction by Bonhams at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed on 5th July.

View attachment 670220

If it isn’t immediately recognisable it is the Williams FW14B Nigel Mansell took to his only F1 drivers’ world championship in 1992. Mansell drove the car in 7 of the 16 of the races that year for 5 wins and a second before it was passed on to his team mate who manage another podium finish.is going to auction by Bonhams at the Goodwood Festival of Speed sale on July 5.

Word is that the Williams could go for around £3 million.

Mansell’s solitary F1 crown was overdue as it came in his last full season in F1 – when Mansell was pushing 40 – by which point he had finished runner-up three times.

The FW14B was a classic but well ahead of the game with sophisticated systems such as active suspension, a semi-automatic paddle shift gearbox and traction control. Many of these features were banned for the 1994 season, so the FW14B remains, even now, one of the most advanced cars to have competed in F1.


Want to hear how throaty F1 cars sounded like before they took away the V10 engines and replaced them with today’s food processors?

(It isn’t Mansell in the cockpit but the one with his boot on the throttle is near as hefty as Nigel)

What an awesome car, and what an awesome Era...

Good old times with V8, V10, V12, and 30 to 40 entries! I miss lemon cars like March, Coloni, Pacific, AGS, and Andrea Moda! :D
