This is a rare item from one of the foremost British Racing drivers of his generation. During his racing-career from 1960s-1970s, the driver wore very few helmets, unlike today where a new helmet is worn for every race. Sir Jackie Stewart was renowned for his contribution in promoting safety in motor-sport, and he always chose the best equipment available for maximum personal protection. This American-made helmet was one of the leading types available to drivers in the early 1960s, and would have been worn during several seasons of racing activities. The present owner acquired this helmet in 1969/70 direct from the Mark McCormack organisation who were and still are Jackie Stewart’s agents. (1)
