Half scale Jim Clark 1965-1966 helmet

Going by the sales of our 1:18 and 1:43 race car replicas, Jim Clark remains the most popular driver by far amongst collectors. He out-Mossed Moss and out-Gurneyed Gurney in the versatility stakes, achieving success in almost every discipline that he turned his hand to: F1, Indycar, endurance racing, touring cars and rallying. Heck, even Ayrton Senna decreed the Scot to be the best of the best, describing him as his boyhood hero.

You can imagine our delight, then, when we heard that a half scale helmet replica for Jim Clark was going to be produced. It has now arrived with us. It is of 1965/66 vintage, featuring a deep blue shell (Pantone 289 to be precise), a white peak with a three-stud fixing, and a cloth strap complete with metal buckle. It measures about 13cm in height, by the way.

The replica helmet comes presented in fully-branded packaging, with a donation from the sale of every example going to The Jim Clark Trust.

Given the stature that Jim Clark still holds across the sport, we do not think we are exaggerating when we say that this replica will not be around for long. You should obtain yours now if you haven't done so already.
