, the 94-year-old former chief of Formula One, has made the decision to auction off his vast car collection, which is estimated to be valued at over £300 million. The collection, a culmination of over 50 years of careful curation, is more than just a testament to automotive history; it's a personal legacy that Ecclestone has decided to part with to ensure a seamless estate auction.
Ecclestone's car collection is revered as one of the most prestigious in the world, featuring 69 cars with illustrious Formula One pedigree. These machines aren't just cars; they encapsulate some of the greatest history of motorsport. Among the jewels of the collection isFerrari from his 2002 F1 world championship, a piece valued at more than £10 million.
For Ecclestone, the decision to sell these cars is as much about estate planning as it is about personal reflection. "I love all my cars but maybe I should have done this five years ago, but I never got round to it until now," Ecclestone reflected.
