Product Description
Heritage F1 collectors won't miss this rare opportunity to own this authentic reproduction of Jo Siffert's 1970 helmet, which is accompanied by a photograph signed by the Swiss driver himself.
Affectionately known as 'Seppi' to his fans and F1 peers, Jo Siffert was a prominent figure in the motorsport community. During the 1960s and 1970s, the Swiss driver became one of F1's most dynamic and fearless competitors.
A Master of Motorsport
Making his F1 debut in 1962, Siffert drove privately entered race cars, but it wasn't long before his talent shone through. Snapped up by Rob Walker Racing Team, Siffert's impressive driving style led him to his first Grand Prix victory at the 1968 British Grand Prix. It marked the last victory for a privateer team in the 3-litre F1.
The racing ace was not just involved in F1, however, and had a highly successful career in other divisions, including his notable win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1968 alongside Hans Herrmann.
Tragically, Siffert's racing career was cut short during the 1971 World Championship Victory Race, after an accident at Brands Hatch. His death led to significant protocol changes that have impacted the course of racing; the legacy he left behind remains in the motorsport community to this day.
A Rare Collectible
This helmet is a perfect replica of the helmet he wore during the 1970 World Championship. It comes accompanied by a signed photograph, perfect for completing your display.
Heritage items such as this are incredibly rare; this is an unmissable opportunity for a collector to add real F1 history to their collection.

What is Auto Bid Extend?
The Auto Bid Extend feature ensures that bidders will always have a chance to challenge bids placed in the final seconds of an auction. When indicated on a listing page, if a bid is placed during the last 5 minutes of an auction, the auction will automatically extend for an additional 5 minutes from the time of the latest bid. The auction will close once all bidding activity has stopped for a period of 5 minutes.

WHAT IS A STRAIGHT BID?
A straight bid is a one-time amount, that represents the price you are committing to bid. The price that is entered as a straight bid can be any amount that is equal to, or greater than the current amount plus the minimum increment.
This amount will become the new current bid amount of the item (i.e. the item is £100. A straight bid is placed at £200. The item price is now £200).
If there is a maximum bid on the item, the greater of the straight bid and maximum bid will be the highest bid amount.
If a straight bid and a maximum bid are placed at the same value, the bid that is placed earlier will become the winning bid.
WHAT IS A MAXIMUM BID?
This system offers a convenient bidding system option, so you don't have to continuously login to re-bid. When you place a maximum bid, you are entering the highest price you are willing to pay for an item. Your maximum bid is kept confidential until it is exceeded by another bidder.
When a maximum bid is placed, the system will place bids on your behalf at the bid increment amount above the current high bid. The system will bid by the increment to ensure you remain the highest bidder or to meet the reserve price (if applicable), up to your maximum bid amount.
If and only if duplicate maximum bids are entered, the customer who entered the maximum bid first will get priority and will be the winning bidder.
If another bidder places a higher bid above your maximum bid, you will be emailed to login and place another bid.
