This collection of rare and unique items is being offered exclusively through OldRacingCars.com. It will only be available here for a limited time and once it's gone, it's gone. Contact Stuart at for further details.

(It's worth noting that from 2005 onwards, all the Renault team-issue clothing incorporated the wearer's name embroidered onto the garments thereby effectively preventing them from being moved-on by the staff as it's against company policy.)

Helmets

1984 Perry McCarthy helmet, used during his successful 1983 season and into 1984 until he had a massive accident at Oulton Park which made the national papers. This is the helmet he was wearing in the crash - the vendor has a COA from Perry as well as sequence of prints of the accident (the same ones which appear in his autobiography).
