On sale at the forthcmoing Bonhams auction at the Silverstone Classic on 25 July, the Brawn GP collection will include show cars, race cars, overalls, equipment and merchandise from their Honda years. All engines and gearboxes have been removed, leaving them as rolling chassis, but a skilled set of technicians will be able to return them to full working order - although probably not with a Honda engine in the back.

The Formula One cars to be sold date from 2001 to 2006 and cover the ownership periods of the team by British American Tobacco and Honda Motor Company. The cars have been driven by top drivers including former World Champion Jacques Villeneuve, Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello.

Valutaions range from £7,000 - £22,000 (€8,250 - €25,950 / $11,400 - $35,900). In addition, up to 100 lots of memorabilia will be sold including race overalls, component spares and merchandise.

"We are very excited to have been appointed by Brawn GP to sell these exclusive items from their extensive memorabilia collection," commented James Knight, International Managing Director of the Bonhams Motoring Department. "All Formula One teams accumulate a fairly large collection of race chassis over the years and the timing of the Brawn GP sale could not be better. The team have been the undoubted stars of the 2009 Formula One season and this sale enables collectors and their legion of fans to acquire some fabulous historic lots."

"We are extremely pleased to be working with Bonhams on our forthcoming memorabilia sale at the Silverstone Classic Meeting in July," added Nick Fry, Chief Executive Officer of Brawn GP. "Brawn GP is extremely proud of our heritage with British American Tobacco and Honda, and we have inherited a vast collection of historic race cars and memorabilia from the team’s early years. We are delighted to be able to give collectors and our fans the opportunity to share in our history and purchase some fantastic items, including actual race cars, through this unique sale."
