Michelin at the heart of Formula 1 in the 2000s

This object takes us directly back to a particularly important period in Michelin’s sporting history.

After nearly two decades of absence, the French manufacturer made its return to Formula 1 in 2001, equipping several major teams in the championship. The early 2000s thus became an iconic period for Michelin’s presence at the highest level of motorsport.

Dated 2003, this ashtray constitutes an interesting testament to this era and to the communication developed by Michelin around its involvement in competition.

A true collector's item

Much more than a simple ashtray, this piece will be of particular interest to collectors of:

Michelin and Bibendum

Automobilia

2000s memorabilia

Its translucent blue glass construction, its F1 decoration, and its "World Champion 2003" inscription give it a particularly striking presence.

Condition
