An ex-Graham Hill Lotus 49-R8 Formula One car from the late 1960s is expected to fetch as much as $2 million when it's auctioned in June.
The legendary Gold Leaf-sponsored 49-R8, which helped Hill win his second Formula One World Championship in 1968, will be auctioned as part of a Bonhams classic car auction at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed in England.
Expected to sell between $1.16 million and $2 million, the race car was one of 12 Lotus built for use in Formula One during 1968.
