Formula One merchandise has never seen anything like it: alongside the familiar
caps, T-shirts and keyrings, Toyota’s grand prix team is selling a host of
high-tech parts from its past racing cars.
Carbon fibre wings, brakes  and light alloy wheels can all be had with the
click of a mouse at the Toyota  F1 web site at www.toyota-f1-shop.com,  with
prices ranging from £175 to £4,400.
At the bargain end of the market there are wheels, brake discs and suspension
parts from less than £200, while front and rear wing assemblies can be yours
for between £700 and £2,000.  And if you want that ultimate desk accessory, a
complete rear wing, engine cover and underbody section – virtually half a car
– the asking price is just £4,400.
“While stocks last”  promises to be an apt sales pitch as F1 fans rush to
snap up a rare bargain.
