Hi All -
in the back of my garage I have what I believe is the sigend ACTUAL helmet that Alan Jones used throughout 1980 to win the F1 world championship....
I will have to verify with my old man as to whether it was from the 1980 or whether it was from 1985 (AJ's last year in F1)... however it is definitely AJs authentic race helmet from an F1 season and signed.
I should be able to find the year out easily once I pull the helmet out of it's storage based on the markings on it anyway (white with thin red stripes from memory).
AJ very kindly gave this to me when I was 11 and my old man was doing an interview with him at his Gold Coast home a long time ago.... (maybe 20 years or more).
Anyway - I may have to sell this due to a rather tight patch financially but don't want to let something that in my opinion is a worthy piece of Australian F1 history - go for peanuts.....
So I thought I'd ask the enthusiasts more in the know than I what they think the helmet is worth.....
Thanks in advance gents
