Getting a piece of the action is what sports memorabilia is all about. And when it comes to motorsports, there's plenty to go around. Every year, each Formula One team complete redesigns its cars, and builds several of them in pairs to last its drivers the entire season. Once the season's done, many of the teams opt to sell off either the entire car, or pieces of the car to collectors. And while Toyota may not have fared so well in previous seasons, this year the team is in third place, ahead of recent championship-winning teams Ferrari, McLaren and Renault, making their memorabilia particularly attractive to collectors, especially at prices significantly lower than those of its competition. While a 1:3 scale replica of a Ferrari nose-cone from last year, for example, will set you back a whopping 5833 euros, an authentic example from Toyota (like the one pictured above) doesn't cost a fraction of that amount, and there are plenty of tantalizing collectible bits starting at just 200 euros for an authentic wheel, brake disc or carbon-fiber suspension piece.
