The F1 circus descends on the majestic Spa Francorchamps circuit this weekend, arguably one of the finest if not the best track on the calendar. It is rich with F1 history but we wait to see how the new regulations affect lap times.

Giancarlo Fisichella always drove well here, finishing second in his Force India in 2009. We have new into stock one of his race used DHL Jordan Honda nomex tops from 2002 as well as a race used pair of his race boots used in 1999 whilst at Benetton.

We have further new nomex items including a Nico Rosberg Williams one piece under suit, a Ralf Firman Jordan 2003 top and a balaclava and top from ‘Quick’ Nick Heidfeld’s 2003 season with Sauber.

Following the recent sad passing of Alex Zanardi, we offer a 1999 Williams team cap with full tobacco livery, hand signed by Ralf Schumacher and Alex.

Meanwhile the Ferrari SF26 is looking increasingly competitive after Hamilton and LeClerc both scored race wins in the last two GPs. We have a stunning piece available, being a cast metal ‘speedform’ of the 2026 car finished in black chrome, mounted on a 27cm plexiglass plinth with SF26 logo engraved. The base has been hand signed by both Lewis and Charles at the exclusive Scuderia Ferrari hospitality lounge at Silverstone.  

We are also able to offer another Nico Rosberg 2008 one piece Williams under suit FREE to the purchaser of his 2008 racesuit.

The post 🌧️ Spa Retreat ☀️ appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

The British Grand Prix eclipsed Adelaide’s 31 year weekend attendance record with 564,000 attendees despite parking charges of up to £530 for the weekend! 

Fresh from the event we offer an official programme hand signed by three British Grand Prix winners and F1 World Champions: Lewis, Lando and Nigel Mansell.

Ferrari are resurgent this year and we have a superb signed special edition Ferrari / Lewis Hamilton cap from the personal collection of a well known F1 journalist as well as a Mumm champagne magnum from the same collection signed to the wooden box by Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello. For the helmet collector, we feature two full scale Arai replica helmets of Rubens and Ivan Capelli, both signed to the visor by the drivers. 

Our McLaren F1 road car pieces are very topical with the launch of the W1 and now include carbon race brake discs, a road car disc with bell and an original carbon dash. We also have a nose badge from a P1 presented on genuine 18ct gold heat reflective material used in the engine bay. 

For our friends and customers heading to Goodwood for the FoS this weekend, enjoy the show and don’t forget the sunscreen! 

Thanks,

The post 🍾 Celebrating Success 🍾 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

Silverstone. The venue for the first Formula 1 World Championship race in 1950, whilst this year also marks the 100th anniversary of the first British Grand Prix held at Brookalnds.

The race has provided some incredible memories over the decades and we are delighted to offer some fantastic items including Jody Scheckter’s 1975 British Grand Prix Tyrrell nosecone, damaged at the mulitiple car accident at Club corner. Unrepeatable.

In 1990, Nigel Mansell threw his gloves into the crowd and announced his retirement. We have a genuine Ferrari piston sleeve from his 1990 Ferrari 640 car, trimmed by Schedoni of Modena in tan leather and hand signed by Il Leone.

Lewis Hamilton remains a fan favourite and we have two Ferrari caps hand signed by Lewis as well as George Russell and Kimi Antonelli signed caps.

Rubens Barrichello won the rain soaked 2003 event and we have a superb replica of his 2002 USGP race winning helmet painted on a genuine Arai helmet, together with a Tiffany cut glass platter celebrating that very win, presented by Tony George who owned the Indianapolis circuit.

From my own collection, we offer a selection of race umbrellas including EJR / Jordan Grand Prix examples from when the team was based in Silverstone, as well as a cut glass Jordan GP golf event winners trophy presented by EJ to the winner at the Belfry in 2003.

The post 🇬🇧 F1 is Coming Home 🏁 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

F1 teams descend on the most beautiful of F1 race circuits this weekend, in the Styrian hills of Austria. Whilst the Red Bull Ring is somewhat emasculated compared to the original Osterreichring, it is now a fast short layout with plenty of overtaking opportunities, guaranteed to offer plenty of action.

We offer a wonderful original painting by Andy Kitson of Valtteri Bottas winning at this race in 2020 when it was the opening round of the season post Covid.

New into stock this weekend we have a superb replica of Rubens Barrichello’s race winning 2002 US GP Arai Ferrari helmet, signed to the mirrored visor by the popular Brazilian as well as a Schedoni Ferrari key fob.

From the archive of a former McLaren team member we offer further McLaren F1 / GTR pieces including brake discs / bells, a celebration enamel pin badge marking the legendary 1995 LeMans win and some technicians gloves.

Further McLaren road car items have also been listed including brake calipers by AP Racing and various original interior badges offered in sets relating to the Sports, Super and Ultimate series.

The post 🏔️ The Hills Are Alive…. 🏁 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

After a huge weekend of racing at Le Mans and Barcelona, the F1 teams get a break ahead of the next GP.

Lewis Hamilton was in amazing form all weekend and whilst the VSC timing and Antonelli’s DNF assisted his cause, regardless  he is now a clear contender in second place in the standings.

We have a choice of two Ferrari caps hand signed by Lewis as well as examples signed by George and Kimi.

New into stock there are some more race umbrellas from my own archive, dating from a time when tobacco ruled the sponsorship landscape.

We are expecting some superb Ferrari and McLaren related pieces at the end of June, but meantime we offer some unrepeatable McLaren F1 / GTR items.

The post 🏆 The Title Fight Opens Up? 🏆 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

Kimi Antonelli survived all of the scepticism, two red flags and the vagaries of pit lane speed monitoring to not only win the Monaco GP but secure his first Grand Chelem by securing pole and leading every lap of the race to win. Will Barcelona be his 5th on the bounce? New in stock this week, we have one of his personal ‘12’ caps hand signed by the 19 year old championship leader but we don’t expect it to be around for long.

From my own collection, we offer a selection of now very rare Grand Prix umbrellas from another time when cigarette sponsorship ruled F1.

Meantime in La Sarthe, the 24 Heueres du Mans takes place. We have some wonderful Le Mans related pieces including an original Porsche racesuit from 1970 winner, Richard Attwood, a selection of passes from Rob Widdows, a David Piper signed 1:12 display cased Ferrari 412P model, a Derek Bell signed programme, several McLaren F1 GTR press packs from the mid 1990s and a genuine McLaren F1 GTR race used rim and tyre!

The post From Monaco 🇲🇨 to LeMans 🇫🇷 via Barcelona 🇪🇸 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

The teams arrive in Monaco this weekend for the Grand Prix that continues to divide fans. This year’s cars should fare better, being slightly lighter and smaller but they are still in no way considered nimble compared to cars from earlier decades.

The capping of top speed via electrical deployment seems a far cry from some of the epic battles the Principality has provided including Senna’s debut in 1984 ahead of a record six wins. We have a wonderful hand built 1/43 scale diorama of the 1984 Toleman at Casino Square as well as incredible original Senna Art pieces including a superb bust ‘The boy from Brazil’, ‘Brazilian eyes’ and ‘Rheos 91’ by Ben Payne.

The McLaren F1 road car was launched in Monaco in 1992, and we have an incredibly rare hardback brochure available signed by Gordon Murray who celebrated his 80th birthday this week. Also from the F1 project, we offer two new framed pieces also signed by Gordon as well as some beautifully displayed original artefacts direct from a former team member.

George Russell, Oscar Piastri and Lewis Hamilton will all be looking for the top spot in Sunday and we have have superb signed caps from each of them.

Meantime, please have a look at the site as we have many fantastic pieces suitable for every budget.

The post 🇲🇨 Procession or Crown Jewel? 🇲🇨 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

The gloves appear to be off between George Russell and Kimi Antonelli at Mercedes after an exciting race weekend in Canada, whilst McLaren’s strategic blunder cost them dearly, paving the way for a great race between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.

The Mercedes intra team battle is reminiscent of 2016. Who will win out this year?

New to the site this week we have a superb B&H Jordan golf tournament trophy personally commissioned and presented by EJ in 2003, Jos Verstappen’s signed Orange Arrows guest pass from Canada 2000 and a Michael Schumacher signed carbon coil cover from the Renault RS07 V10 that powered Michael to the 1995 World Championship. 

A one off hand built guitar produced to mark McLaren’s  2024 Constructors Championship victory will make a superb centrepiece for the McLaren fan. Zak Brown certainly agreed as this piece was displayed at MTC after it was built!

From my own collection, we have a wonderful framed illustration of the Jordan 191 penned by Ian Hutchinson is available, signed by Ian and EJ and a similar image of the 192 signed by Mauricio Gugelmin and Stefan Modena. 

We are delighted to have items consigned by a renowned F1 journalist including signed caps from George Russell and Lewis Hamilton as well as a Moet podium magnum in its original wooden crate hand signed by Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello.

Meantime for the rally fan, we offer the winning team trophy from the 1987 Lombard RAC Rally, awarded to the Lancia Martini squad after Juha Kankunnen’s win.

Enjoy browsing!

The post 🏁 History Repeating Itself? 🏁 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

The F1 circus arrives in Montréal this week for the ever popular Canadian Grand Prix. Will Lando Norris join the long list of past world champions to make contact with the wall on the approach to the start finish straight?

Mercedes are bringing upgrades that they hope will increase their dominance after Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull appeared to be much closer in Miami.

This week we showcase some great World Champion pieces including gloves from Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg, racesuits from Nico and Keke Rosberg, visors from Sebastian Vettel and Damon Hill and signed caps from Lewis Hamilton and Nigel Mansell 

A Mika Hakkinen signed Mercedes carbon coil cover from the V10 in his 1998 World Championship winning McLaren is a rare piece, whilst we also have a signed Williams steering wheel from Keke Rosberg (who was Mika’s manager in 1998/9)! 

A Nigel Mansell signed Ferrari piston sleeve and Benetton factory tool room replica of Michael Schumacher’s 1991 steering wheel round off this weeks newsletter.

The post 🏔️ The Wall of Champions Awaits 🍁 appeared first on Motorsport Memorabilia.

The Gordon Murray designed car was launched 34 years ago in Monaco and with only 64 road going examples produced, they are now valued upwards of US$20m! Seen by many as the ultimate ever car with a carbon chassis, normally aspirated BMW V12, the weight of a Ford Fiesta and footprint of a Porsche Boxster, parts from these cars and associated ephemera such as owners manuals and brochures have become highly collectible. 

We are delighted to offer for the first time to market a fantastic selection of parts that have been in the private collection of one of the original employees for over 30 years, including unrepeatable pieces from chassis XP5, still owned to this day by McLaren. 

These include a steering wheel with carbon centre, titanium pedal set, a chassis plate, bespoke key and rear badge from the LM edition (only 5 made), a set of custom titanium spanners by Facom, Carbon dash panel, wheel nut and various display mounted badges.

These parts are exceptionally rare and will grace any serious collection.
