Hamilton’s £2000 kart sold on Ebay with £42,100
June 20th, 2007 by calinescuvmA Customised £2,000 go-kart owned by Formula 1 wonder boy Lewis Hamilton (left) was snapped up on eBay for £42,100 yesterday.
Offers for the 22-year-old’s McLaren Mercedes kart went through the roof after his back-to-back Grand Prix wins in Canada and the US. Bidding began at just £1 but rapidly soared – with 89 bids placed when the auction closed. Hamilton, just seven races into his Formula 1 career, will present the 80mph kart to the bid winner.
He joked on eBay: “The reasons for selling are my work commitments mean my weekends are taken up for the foreseeable future. McLaren have given me a much faster vehicle now.”
