Fans of Michael Schumacher and Formula One racing will be delighted to know that his Ford-Benetton B191B racing car is up for sale. The car is expected to fetch a price of at least £180,000 in the auction next month.

According to Top Gear, the Ford-Benetton B191B has a Series V Ford HB V8 engine. The engine can rev up to 13,800rpm and can go at 730bhp. There were previous owners of the racing care before Michael Schumacher had it in his possession. The Ford-Benetton B191B was previously owned by Nelson Piquet, who retired from Formula One racing in 1991.

The Bit Bag reports that Martin Brundle and Bonhams also had the car in their possessions for a while. The car is made and engineered by John Barnard, who said that Michael Schumacher used the Ford-Benetton B191B extensively and impressively in 1991 and 1992.

Michael Schumacher is still recovering from a serious head injury due to an accident in the French Alps two years ago. Although the Formula One champion is no longer in a coma, he is still recovering in his Geneva Lake mansion in Switzerland. According to News Everyday, Schumacher is unable to talk, walk or has no awareness of his surroundings. However, he is making some progress. The F1 racing champion is being cared for by 15 medical staff round the clock.

"We are happy to say still he does improvement and I say this always considering the severeness of the injury he had," Kehm said in an interview, as reported by One News. "But of course it will take a very long time for everybody involved to fight, and we are happy to take this fight."

Kehm also expressed recently that Michael Schumacher initially wished to lay low from the public eye months before his accident in 2013. She explains that this is why there is little information about the racer's condition or his private life with his wife Corinna Schumacher and their family.

"Once in a long discussion Michael said to me: 'You don't need to call me for the next year, I'm disappearing'," Kehm said, as reported by Mirror. "I think it was his secret dream to be able to do that some day. That's why now I still want to protect his wishes in that I don't let anything get out."
