Williams is the third most successful marque in Formula One history, trailing only Ferrari and McLaren on the all-time victory list, and as such has a lengthy history stretching back more than five decades. The team has now created a new division, Williams Heritage, and appointed Cars International as its official agent.
The first fruits of the new relationship were realized at January’s London Classic Car Show, where three Williams Formula One cars—a 1981 FW07C, a 1993 FW15C and a 2003 FW25—were released for sale. As official agents for Williams Heritage, Cars International will work with Jonathan Williams, who heads up the department at Grove, and general manager Dickie Stanford, who oversees the maintenance and public demonstration of the team’s historic Formula One cars.
Cars International will offer for sale a small selection of historically important Cars from the Williams Grand Prix Collection in Oxfordshire, the largest private collection of Formula One cars in the world. F1 drivers and TV celebrities who were among the visitors at the VIP opening included Martin Brundle, David Coulthard, Chris Evans, James May, James Martin and Adrian Newey.
