HAMBURG: The Benetton B194, which is ready to drive and comes complete with spare parts, is being sold by its private owners on internet auction house eBay.
The price sailed through the €2.5 million mark on Tuesday with the bidding set to close at just before midnight on Monday for the car in which Schumacher won the first of his seven world titles.
The car is in the same condition as it was in the 1994 season, complete with sponsors' labels, while its Ford Cosworth engine has been overhauled.
It comes with numerous spare parts for brakes, chassis and transmission, plus a laptop with software package to control the computer. It is in Toronto and its sellers are identified only as Christian M from Bad Homburg, central Germany, and Bernd M from Toronto.
Documentation from FIA's engineers proved that it competed during the 1994 season, in which Schumacher collided with Britain's Damon Hill at the Adelaide Grand Prix in the final race to land the drivers' championship.
