The drivers who have steered this Williams FW20 read like a who’s who in open-wheel motorsport: Jacques Villeneuve, Juan Pablo Montoya, and Alex Zanardi.

Villeneuve competed with this chassis in three grands prix in 1998, including a fifth-place finish in Australia and fourth in San Marino.

After those events, it became a spare car used for testing, with Juan Pablo Montoya and Alex Zanardi, among others taking turns in it.

Find this 1998 Williams FW20 for auction at RM Sotheby’s, with an estimated value of $210,000-$315,000.

Perhaps it doesn't have the prominence of some other F1 racers that have recently sold, but $210,000-$315,000 seems like a heck of a deal for a genuine Formula 1 car.
