The current Formula 1 World Land Speed Record car, a 2006 Honda F1, nicknamed Bonneville 400, is estimated to sell for £10,000 - 20,000 at Bonhams.
This superb car accomplished a speed of 397kph on the fabled Bonneville Salt Flats in the USA, setting a new world land speed record for a Formula 1 racing car which has remained unchallenged.
Another important car in this sale is the Datsun 260Z Super Samurai Racing car, the ex Winn Percy car, estimated to sell for £40,000 - 60,000.

Affectionately known as 'Big Sam', this red and black two door circuit racing coupe got the thumbs up from Tony Dron of Classic Cars.
"What a pleasure it is to drive a car that handles really well: it's easy to see that Winn Percy must have enjoyed notching up his wins," wrote Dron.
"Big Sam is an absolute delight to drive on the track; the 2.4 litre straight-six engine revs freely, feels unbreakable and is safe to at least 9,000rpm."
Bonhams' Collectors' Motor Cars sale will be held at Silverstone on July 24.
