1989/90 Nigel Mansell Race Used USA / Brazil / Monaco Grand Prix Scuderia Ferrari F1 Helmet with Scuderia Ferrari F1 Suit
A very iconic helmet worn by F1 World Champion Nigel Mansell during the 1990 F1 Season while driving for Scuderia Ferrari. The helmet was the first one used that season. It was seen used at the opening round at the US GP, then in Brazil GP where he finished 4th, the helmet then saw action again in Monaco.
Mansell is one of the all time greats driving in an era which featured amazing champions and rivalries in particular with Senna, Prost and Piquet. Considering he was racing at the same time as these greats, it's pretty amazing that he finished his career with 31 Grand Prix victories, 32 poles, 30 fastest laps and 59 podiums.
After winning the 1992 F1 World Championship, he switched to IndyCar where he became the only driver in history to win back to back Championships in both F1 and IndyCar.
This helmet came direct from Nigel Mansell's personal collection and is still fitted with the original visor, radio, air tube, d rings and comes exactly as it was last used for the legendary Scuderia Ferrari team. Don't miss out on this amazing chance to become the second owner of this helmet after the man himself.
Very rare Stand 21 suit used by World Champion Nigel Mansell while driving with Scuderia Ferrari in the 1989 World Championship. The suit was used over many race weekends throughout the whole season including the first ever race weekend with the Ferrari team in Brazil, the Germany Grand Prix (midseason and non tobacco race) and finally in Japan (the penultimate race of the season). Mansell was the last driver to be signed for the team by Enzo Ferrari and was loved by the Tifossi who give him the nick name "Il Leone"
In 1989 Mansell would win two Grand Prix and in 1992 finally became World F1 Champion.
If you like this set do not hesitate as it is the only F1 helmet and suit set we have available from the British F1 legend.
The suit and helmet come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
