Got £20? Now’s your chance to sit on the same throne as Fernando Alonso

Have you ever wanted to get closer to the action in F1? Well, now you can – and not that boring on-track action, we’re talking about the real action.

You see, Aston Martin is all set to move into its brand-spanking-new state-of-the-art factory in Silverstone, which means the old setup is of no use. And rather than order the world’s largest skip, Aston is doing the responsible thing and selling everything off for it to be reused or recycled.

Fortunately for us, this means NCM Auctions’ latest sale is one of the funniest things we’ve seen since Taki Inoue was still racing.

It really is an ‘everything must go’ auction, but the best lot is undoubtedly the ‘Contents of Staff Toilet’. Just think, Fernando Alonso could have sat on that exact toilet seat, and now you could buy it for as little as £20.

The description of said lot notes there are ‘signs of general use’ which is presumably music to the ears of the slightly stranger F1 superfan contingent. It also states that everything shown in the images is included, meaning you could own F1-spec sinks, urinals, bogs and even those rubbish Dyson hand dryers.

Bathroom memorabilia not your thing? How about bidding on a massive three-metre-tall stone Aston Martin sign from the car park (opening bid £100)? Or perhaps you would prefer an Aston Martin picnic table, a printer or even a septic tank? None of those final three are branded with any Aston logos though, sadly.
