  • Officially licensed 75% scale celebration of the Williams FW14B driven by Nigel Mansell to the 1992 Formula 1 World Championship
  • Chassis 01; the first example offered for sale
  • Carbon fiber body finished in hand-painted period Williams livery with famous Mansell “Red 5” numbering
  • Features a 1000-watt lithium battery powering a 48-volt motor for a 40 mph top speed, plus rear differential, slick tires, and all-around hydraulic disc brakes
  • Suede seat fitted with three-point race harness; suitable for drivers aged 5 to 15

An all-around improvement on the Williams FW14 that ran in the 1991 Formula 1 season, the successor FW14B’s reliable active ride system unlocked far greater cornering speeds. Nigel Mansell used his upper body strength to maximise those gains, offsetting a lack of power steering to score 14 pole positions and nine wins from 16 rounds to romp to the 1992 Formula 1 World Championship.

Presented here is a 75% scale FW14B officially licenced by Williams. Carbon fiber bodywork wears the instantly recognisable period livery and features Mansell’s famous “Red 5” numbering. At all four corners of the monocoque is suspension that mimics single-seater racecar set-ups, hydraulic disc brakes, and slick tires. Power comes from a 1000-watt lithium battery and 48-volt motor configuration to achieve a 40 mph top speed, while a suede seat and three-point race harness make this miniature Grand Prix car suitable for drivers aged 5 to 15. Measuring three meters, or nearly 10 feet, in length, the exquisitely finished example offered is chassis 01. It is the first of this model ever offered for sale and would be a delightful addition to any motorsports-focused collection.
