It was the best of teams, it was the worst of teams...

Brawn, USF1... You can understand why the sellers are, shall we say, downplaying the USF1 aspect.

You will remember how the North Carolina based "team" said it had bought transports and trailers from Brawn GP.
Lucky for the sellers, Peter Windsor never got around to putting new stickers on at least one of those trailers so this still is the trailer of the most successful "rookie" team in F1 history and it has Jenson Button's number on it. Looks like trailer 2 has no stickers but was the machine shop, trailer 1 has a conference area.

As Alex said in his message "What a great way to make an entrance at a Trackday World Championship 2010 event. Whoever buys it and turns up at a trackday only to unveil a tired, abused track-miata will be my hero. "

Calling Dale.... Dale Lomas? More pictures after the jump.

  1. On one hand I'm surprised at how low the bidding is staying but on the other- how many people have a use for an F1 trailer? Pretty much just F1 teams, they may even be so tightly designed that an Indy car wouldn't even fit or the current year Mercedes GP car!
    I imagine several hundred thousand dollars was put into designing, building and outfitting those trailers, if both of them sell for under 60 grand combined, it's a steal just for the technology in them, let alone the history. Imagine the conversations that took place at in those trailers before, during and after each of last years amazing races.
