Ferrari and McLarens from Jody Scheckter headed for Monaco auction ...

For the upcoming Monaco Auction, RM Sotheby's have consigned the formidable racing car collection assembled by 1979 Formula 1 World Champion Jody Scheckter. The absolute headliner is the very Ferrari 312 T4 that the South African used to win the World Championship. He raced the car nine times that year, scoring three victories. Scheckter bought chassis 040 directly from Ferrari in 1982. One of just two 312 T4s that were not updated to T5 specification, this rare Ferrari has a pre-sale estimate of over €5 million.
Scheckter started his successful Grand Prix racing career in this McLaren M19A Cosworth. It was originally allocated to Dennis Hulme and was also raced by the likes of Peter Revson, Mark Donohue and Brian Redman. Later also campaigned in F5000 events, M19A-1 has been restored to its original configuration and livery.
Later in his McLaren tenure, the South African also raced this M23 Cosworth. The second M23 built, this particular car was raced to victory in the 1973 British Grand Prix by Peter Revson. Scheckter himself raced M23-2 twice before it also was converted to F5000. After it was re-acquired by McLaren International, it joined the collection of Scheckter in more recent years. It should find a new custodian for around €2 million.
