Cars from the team’s memorabilia collection driven by Button, his teammate Rubens Barrichello and former world champion Jacques Villeneuve will be included in a sale at the Silverstone Classic weekend in July.
The chassis, which will be sold without engines, will feature alongside race overalls and other merchandise at the sale, and are expected to fetch between £7,000 and £22,000 each.
James Knight, of auction house Bonhams, said the sale would be an opportunity for fans and enthusiasts to buy a piece of F1 history.
He said: “During the 1990s and 2000s some F1 teams were building 12 chassis a year for all the different races and testing they had to do. Once a season ends these cars are effectively obsolete, as the following year’s car is either performing better or the regulations have changed.” Northampton Chronicle & Echo
In addition, up to 100 lots of memorabilia will be sold including race overalls, component spares and merchandise.
James Knight, said: “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.” BBC News
