VJM08-03 chassis from the 2015 F1 season
B specification 'nostrils'
Includes many original parts

The VJM08 introduced a productive upgrade to the F1 noses previously seen in the sport. In 2015 the team added 'nostrils' to the nose, creating a B specification of the race car - these were first seen at the British Grand Prix - and were two distinctive vents that aided airflow. The nostrils worked by feeding the lower section of the car with air. They were designed to abide by regulations which previously stated the cars could not feature vents that were entirely open.
When viewed from above you cannot see the ground through them, whereas when at a 45-degree angle you can. The nostrils also allowed easy crash test approval. This ex-race car was once driven by Sergio Pérez during the 2015 season - a strong year for the Mexican ace. It features a selection of original race used components and parts, bringing the action of the race tracks directly to you.
Included on the car are race used sidepods and engine cover as well as a race used front wing. It also features original gearbox, brakes and callipers. Inside the cockpit you'll find the original seatbelt, used by Pérez.The car also boasts the original radiators, oil coolers and fuel tank, and has the original race used floor too.
How the car performed The 2015 season was a strong one for Sahara Force India F1 Team with the constructors finishing fifth in the FIA Formula One Constructors World Championship™ collecting 136 points. The driver line-up included Sergio Pérez and Nico Hülkenberg, who each finished ninth and 10th in the Drivers' Standings.
The B-specification chassis' aerodynamic package meant the VJM08 could qualify well and race very competitively on the high-speed late-season courses such as Spa-Francorchamps and Sochi. Pérez also claimed a third-place podium behind the wheel of the VJM08, at the Russian Grand Prix.
Please note: All auction items will include an Admin Fee of 10% of the winning price which will be added to the total when taken to checkout.

The Auto Bid Extend feature ensures that bidders will always have a chance to challenge bids placed in the final seconds of an auction. When indicated on a listing page, if a bid is placed during the last 5 minutes of an auction, the auction will automatically extend for an additional 5 minutes from the time of the latest bid. The auction will close once all bidding activity has stopped for a period of 5 minutes.
NOTE: Current Bid Amount and Countdown Timer are not "live." Click Refresh to update them or to see if the auction has been automatically extended by a last minute bid.
A straight bid is a one-time amount, that represents the price you are committing to bid. The price that is entered as a straight bid can be any amount that is equal to, or greater than the current amount plus the minimum increment.
This amount will become the new current bid amount of the item (i.e. the item is £100. A straight bid is placed at £200. The item price is now £200).
If there is a maximum bid on the item, the greater of the straight bid and maximum bid will be the highest bid amount.
If a straight bid and a maximum bid are placed at the same value, the bid that is placed earlier will become the winning bid.
This system offers a convenient bidding system option, so you don't have to continuously login to re-bid. When you place a maximum bid, you are entering the highest price you are willing to pay for an item. Your maximum bid is kept confidential until it is exceeded by another bidder.
When a maximum bid is placed, the system will place bids on your behalf at the bid increment amount above the current high bid. The system will bid by the increment to ensure you remain the highest bidder or to meet the reserve price (if applicable), up to your maximum bid amount.
If and only if duplicate maximum bids are entered, the customer who entered the maximum bid first will get priority and will be the winning bidder.
If another bidder places a higher bid above your maximum bid, you will be emailed to login and place another bid.
