(Wealthy) passengers passing through Zurich Airport during the next month can pick up something a little out of the ordinary.

Ticked away behind the cuckoo clocks and evermore bizarre M&M containers, will be a range of F1 memorabilia, including race cars, previously owned by Peter Sauber (right), who sold his team to BMW at the end of 2005.

"This is the first time Formula One cars will be up for sale at Zurich Airport," said Patrick Graf, head of marketing retail for the company that holds the concession to operate at the airport.

Amongst the cars on offer, are C17s and C18s raced by Jean Alesi in 1998 and 1999, and a C20 raced by Kimi Raikkonen in 2001, his debut season - oh come on, you remember, the year when Max Mosley said drivers were getting too young and consequently only issued the Finn with a 'provisional' superlicence.
