Supercar dealer, Tom Hartley Jnr, has got eight vehicles owned by four-time F1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel from his Swiss-based collection up for sale, five of which are Ferraris. Specifically, the Ferraris that Vettel is selling are a 2004 Ferrari Enzo, a 2016 Ferrari LaFerrari, a 2016 Ferrari F12 TDF, a 1996 Ferrari F50, and a 2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale. He’s also selling his 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series, 2002 BMW Z8 Roadster, and 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

Sebastian Vettel’s press speaker Britta Roeske confirmed that he is selling and sold some of the cars of his collection, however Sebastian does not want to comment on the reasons for the sale. Vettel’s new team, Aston Martin, stated they have had no part to play in the decision, either. A statement read: “We are not aware of any plans by Sebastian regarding his car collection and we have not made any demands in this regard.”

The three most prized are a 2016 Ferrari LaFerrari purchased new, a 2004 Enzo, and a 1996 F50 all finished in Rossa Corsa. Both the LaFerrari and Enzo had already been sold, although no price has been made public, but the rest remain available.

Vettel is also parting ways with two other Ferraris that he ordered new when driving for the Maranello team. The first is a 2016 F12 TDF that has only driven 1,183 km. It is finished in Giallo Triplo Strato, sits on 20-inch forged Diamond wheels along with a Vettel logo on the seat headrests. There’s also a 458 Speciale up for sale that has only driven 3,077 km, with a very special spec that included metallic black with gold fleck paint and a racing stripe, along with his Vettel logo on the headrests of the carbonfibre seats.
