DESCRIPTION
Stirling Moss wore only four helmets during his career as a professional racing driver. Two were manufactured by Herbert Johnson Ltd. and two helmets were built for him by Patey Helmets. This particular helmet is circa 1958 and was worn by Stirling Moss both in period and occasionally up until 2007.... an incredible 49 years!
Used by Stirling after his career-ending crash at Goodwood at demonstrations, for racing at Monaco 2001 (scrutineers sticker attached) and finally at Goodwood in 2007 (scrutineers sticker attached). Clearly, the helmet is heavily worn with age-related marks and some staining to the lining is clear to see. Hand-signed by Stirling to the front side.
Gifted to the vendor in 2008. It is the last period helmet owned by Stirling as the other three were sold or gifted many years ago.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a genuine period race helmet owned by the British racing legend for 49 years!
