Over 100 lots of Chris Evans's personal Automobilia will go under the hammer at Bonhams Goodwood Revival Sale, taking place this Saturday 12 September.
Entered at no reserve, the proceeds of the Chris Evans Automobilia Sale will go to BBC Charity, Children in Need. The Sale includes models, movie posters and eight cars designed for young petrol heads or the young at heart, comprising two half-size Ferraris and other pedal and children's cars, including an unusual Maserati example.
The highlight of the ‘pee-wee racers’ is a child’s racing Ferrari 275P. Approximately half the size of a real-life Ferrari, the car is petrol-fuelled, and eligible for the ‘Little Big Mans’ Children’s Racing Event at the legendary Le Mans 24-Hour Circuit. The 275P is estimated at £6,000-8,000.
Also featured is a rare ‘Bimbo V12 Racer’ two-seat child’s motorised car by S.I.L.A. of Turin, Italy. With red fibreglass body, electric powered rear engine and Pirelli Bambino pneumatic tyres, the race car is perfect for the young enthusiast. It is offered at an estimate of £5,000-7,000.
Toby Wilson, Bonhams Head of Automobilia, said: “The Goodwood Revival Sale offers items for all enthusiasts, even young petrol-heads who no doubt will take particular interest in Chris Evans’s half-size Ferraris and Maseratis.”
