SUMMARY
This Les Leston race suit was discovered in the US and brought over to the UK approximately nine years ago, taken to Sir Stirling's Mayfair home where he signed it. Presented with a photograph of the motor racing legend signing the suit and an Authentication Certificate marked '1 of 1'.
DESCRIPTION
The suit also has his name on the inside of the collar and on inspection is very similar to and consistent to his hand, Does this confirm ownership at an earlier date? You decide. We have no proof that he wore it.
Was this a suit he was given by Ferrari when it was thought he was going to race for the Maranello team? The suit may just be a promotional item by Ferrari, but why is his name in the collar resembling his hand? These are questions we cannot answer and form part of the intrigue. What we do know for sure is the suit is a Les Leston and it was hand-signed by Sir Stirling.
The mannequin is included, ensuring this intriguing race suit is a talking point in your home of office.
