Left engine cover Ford Cosworth, Stewart Grand Prix Team, 1999 Season

Original left-side engine cover from the Stewart SF3 Formula 1 car, used by the Stewart Grand Prix Team during the 1999 FIA Formula One World Championship. Made of carbon fiber, it features the official livery of the season with a white base and the iconic blue, red, and green crossed stripes inspired by the Scottish flag, in tribute to the team’s founder, Sir Jackie Stewart. The piece also displays the logos of the official team sponsors: Ford, Hewlett Packard, and HSBC. On the inner surface, it retains handwritten inscriptions indicating chassis number 05 and the reference “JH. CANADA R.”, suggesting its use during the 1999 Canadian Grand Prix.

It shows light signs of use and wear, consistent with its participation in competition, and retains its original patina as a testament to its authenticity.

Catalogue Note:

The Stewart SF3 was driven in the 1999 season by Johnny Herbert and Rubens Barrichello. This piece most likely belonged to Johnny Herbert’s car, who achieved the team’s historic and only Formula 1 victory at the 1999 European Grand Prix, shortly before the team was acquired by Ford Motor Company to become Jaguar Racing.
