Fancy buying an F1 car?

Have you ever fancied owning your own F1 car? If so, then a new addition to the listings on Crash Classifieds may be of interest.

In recent days, a showcar based on the 2002 BAR Honda as raced by former F1 champion Jacques Villeneuve and Olivier Panis has gone up for sale for just under £30,000.

While the car comes without an engine, it would be an amazing acquisition for a fan of F1, or could be used for a range of marketing or advertising purposes. What would look more impressive than to have your own F1 car kitted out in corporate colours?

If you'd prefer something a bit more 'down to earth' – and which also still runs – the how about this ex-BTCC Peugeot 307? Built by VLR, the car ran in the BTCC for a number of seasons and has most recently been seen in Britcar. Yours ready to race for £28,000.

Should your budget be a bit larger, the two additions to the Sportscars and GT listings may catch your eye.

Firstly, how about a Ferrari 430 GT3 that has taken numerous wins in the British GT Championship in the hands of Allan Simonsen and Hector Lester?

Or what about another car previously seen in the British GT arena? However this one is a much rarer beast in the shape of a Lister Storm, which also part in races in the FIA GT Championship and the Spanish national series.

However, it has to be said that our own personal favourite is a car with no racing history at all, that hasn't been driven by anyone famous and that will never have picked up a racing award.

Instead its located in the Track Day Cars section, although the car in question is road legal – and would be guaranteed to be a blast.

They say good things come in small packages, so our money would go on this Hayabusa-powered Mini, a car which would probably outpace a lot of machines that would cost a lot more money!

The remainder of listings can be found by visiting Crash Classifieds.

Located on the north-east side of Abu Dhabi’s mainland, Yas Island is 2,500 hectares or 25 square kilometres. Prior to 2007, Yas Island had no amenities or facilities – including roads, electricity or water supply. Conveniently located, Yas Island is 20 minutes from the centre of Abu Dhabi, ten minutes from Abu Dhabi International Airport and 50 minutes from Dubai [pic credit: Yas Marina Circuit]

By May 2008, work on the main grandstand is underway. More than 6,000 spectators are entertained in the main grandstand opposite the pit building and garages. For many fans, this is the heart of the action, where the team pit garages and pit-stops take place, the location of the start/finish line as well as the victory podium [pic credit: Yas Marina Circuit]
By November 2008, substantial progress continues on the main grandstand, pit buildings and the Yas Hotel, with Yas Marina clearly defined. The pit buildings contain 40 independent garages, each 140 square metres, fully air-conditioned with an air-wall at exit onto pit-lane. The pit building houses the team’s two race cars, all spare parts, engineering equipment and the computer data storage and analysis equipment. Between 75 and 100 people will work in each respective team’s garage [pic credit: Yas Marina Circuit]
