Fangio's rare F1 Mercedes 'could fetch over £10m'
A rare racing car driven by Formula 1 legend Juan Manuel Fangio could fetch more than £10m when it goes under the hammer, according to auctioneers.
The Mercedes-Benz W196, in which the five-times world champion clinched his second title, will be auctioned at Goodwood Festival of Speed later.
He drove the Mercedes to victory in the 1954 German and Swiss Grand Prix.
Bonhams think it could break the $16.4m (£10.8m) record price set in 2011 by a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa Prototype.
