A 1978 Ferrari 512 Berlinetta Boxer (BB) owned by British Formula One driver, Jenson Button, is to be sold by Bonhams at its sale of Collectors' Motor Cars at the RAF Museum, Hendon, on 11 April 2011. The car, which was bought last year by Button, the then reigning Formula One World Champion, has attracted a pre-sale estimate of £90,000 - £110,000.
Due to a busy schedule as Britain's number one Formula One point-scorer, Button has decided to part with the car. He says: "I've had a great time driving the Boxer, however my F1 commitments will not enable me to enjoy the car to its fullest. It has had a thorough service that has addressed all the usual issues of an older Ferrari."
