Tyrrell Racing ran two cars, a Renault and a Ford, in 1985. This is the Renault.

Martin Brundle drove this car for Tyrrell in 1985 and 1986.

A year before, Tyrrell had been disqualified from the F1 season so were playing catch-up when they introduced the 014 mid-way through 1985.

1993-1994 Lotus-Mugen Honda Type 107C - £70,000-£100,000

The car included a Mercedes-Benz engine and a Mercedes-McLaren gearbox.

Only 10 of these cars were ever produced by Lotus. One of them appeared on Top Gear in 2011.

The real 2013 Lotus was driven by the great Kimi Raikkonen, who finished fifth. Romain Grosjean and Heikki Kovalainen were his teammates.
