The debate over the best looking F1 car in history is often as fierce as the dispute over the best driver in history, and now there is a rare opportunity to own a machine that brings two contenders for those titles together.
Historic car dealer Speedmaster Cars has been entrusted with the sale of a Jordan 191, chassis #6, driven by Michael Schumacher at the Belgian Grand Prix in 1991. And Speedmaster hopes the precious artefact will find a new home for a cool £1.25m!
Jordan Grand Prix’s 191, which made its debut along with Eddie Jordan’s eponymous outfit in 1991, fits the bill as one of the most beautiful F1 cars to ever grace the tracks.

And its sleek and aesthetic lines penned by Gary Anderson were put to good use by rookie Schumacher at Spa where the future legend made his F1 debut and promptly outpaced in qualifying regular driver Andrea de Cesaris.
Schumacher owed his race debut with Jordan to Bertrand Gachot when the future founder of F1i.com was temporarily put out of commission by the British courts. With the support of Mercedes, Schumacher stepped into an unknown car and on to an unfamiliar track to qualify a remarkable seventh, 0.774s ahead of de Cesaris.
Alas, a clutch issue put paid to Schumacher’s efforts on the climb up Raidillon on the opening lap, but for all it was clear to see: a star was born.
