Now’s your chance to buy an actual Fernando Alonso F1 car

Yeah we hear you, the 2004 Renault R24 F1 car might not have the historical significance of the R25 and the R26 that followed it (Fernando Alonso took both of his world titles in those cars), but would you really say no to owning one? 

This particular R24 is chassis R24-07 – the very car that Alonso drove for the final three races of the 2004 season in China, Japan and Brazil. The Spaniard finished 4th, 5th and 4th respectively in those races, racking up a decent points haul for the V10-engined 07 and securing third in the constructors’ championship. 

And now this very car will cross the block at RM Sotheby’s Paris Auction next week. The estimate? Between £300,000 and £385,000. A veritable bargain we think you’ll agree…
