Schumacher’s 1992 Spa‑Winning Benetton B192‑05 Heads to Auction With £7.38 Million+ Estimate

The chassis will lead Broad Arrow’s Global Icons: Europe online sale with bidding set to open later this month.

Overview

  • Broad Arrow Auctions says the B192-05 is being publicly offered for the first time and will headline the Global Icons: Europe online auction running 23–30 January.
  • The car delivered Michael Schumacher’s maiden Formula 1 victory at Spa-Francorchamps in 1992 in torrential conditions against rivals including Ayrton Senna and Nigel Mansell.
  • The auction house estimates a result in excess of £7.38 million, while companion coverage cites an indicative valuation of about €8.5 million.
  • Broad Arrow specialist Yves Boitel called the car one of the most famous in F1 and highlighted its link to the closing chapter of the manual-gearbox era at the top level.
  • Designed by Rory Byrne under Ross Brawn and powered by a Ford 3.5‑litre V8, the B192 is tied to the breakthrough that preceded Schumacher’s seven world titles and 91 race wins.
