Yeah, we hear you: The 2004 Renault R24 Formula 1 car might not have the historical significance of the R25 and the R26 that followed it, and with which Fernando Alonso took both of his world titles. but would you really say no to owning one?

This particular R24 is chassis R24-07—the very car that Alonso drove for the final three races of the 2004 season in China, Japan, and Brazil. The Spaniard finished fourth, fifth, and fourth, respectively in those races, racking up a decent points haul for the V10-engined 07 and securing third in the constructors’ championship.
