Ferrari motorhome used by Michael Schumacher at F1 races during title-winning years on sale for £130,000

The giant Ferrari team bus is heading to auction after globe-trotting alongside the all-conquering F1 legend

A FERRARI motorhome used by F1 legend Michael Schumacher is heading to auction with a £130,000 price tag.

The huge team bus followed Schumi around the world at races during his historic championship-winning run between 2001 and 2004.

The custom-built Italian coach is 12-metres long and held team and strategy meetings between races and qualifying.

Schuey and team-mate Rubens Barrichello would've been regulars relaxing between their gruelling time on track.

Originally the motorhome featured two separate apartments with a dressing room, TVs, computers, internet and phones - plus a personal physio.

After the team bus was retired in 2005, a new owner had it converted into its current luxury.

There's a new ceramic bathroom, heating, air con, Bose sound system and a huge double bed.

Inside is also a fully-fitted kitchen with hob, microwave, kettle and coffee machine.

Despite its interior makeover, the bus is still unmistakably a Ferrari - with the trademark Rosso Corsa colour scheme.

The Scuderia Ferrari badges and Prancing Horse logos are still emblazoned on the side - and documents are signed by ex-team boss Stefano Domenicali.

The team bus is an Iveco model - made in Turin - but has a UK number plate and registration paperwork for Britain.

While it's appeared at races around the world the mileage is less than 90,000km (56,000 miles).

The Ferrari motohome will be sold by Bonhams at its Grand Palais sale in Paris on February 8 with a £130,000 estimate.
