Savings left? The Jordan 191 that Schumacher debuted in is for sale
- GPblog.com
According to many, it is one of the most beautiful Formula 1 cars ever made and now it can be yours if you bring a big wallet. The Jordan 191 in which F1 legend Michael Schumacher once made his debut is for sale.
Schumacher's Debut
The Jordan 191 in which Schumacher debuted is for sale at Speedmasterscars.com. Schumacher got behind the wheel of the Jordan because of a bizarre incident involving regular driver Bertrand Gachot. Gachot was serving a two-month prison sentence in Britain for spraying tear gas at a taxi driver in London.
Schumacher impressed everyone on the grid by qualifying the Jordan directly in seventh place at Spa-Francorchamps. Unfortunately, he didn't get far in the race due to a problem with his clutch. It was also his last appearance in Eddie Jordan's green machine, as Schumi was picked up by Benetton to enter their car one race later.
Price not known
The car being offered for sale is one of seven 191s ever made and it is actually a car Schumacher debuted in. A price is not shared on the website, but the collector's item will not be cheap.
