As above,

I started collecting these a couple of years ago and have a fair amount now.

I was buying them off a company on Facebook but he doesn't have as many now.

Does anyone else know where I could buy them?

Bought a couple from a German company on Ebay and they arrived within a week but he doesn't have a great selection.

I had ordered the pnk Button one but the company made them with a flaw and wouldn't sell them on.

www.diecastracemodels.com

There is also a collectors page on Facebook.
The McLaren store also sells them for their current drivers, older models at reduced prices. I recently purchased an old Alonso lid for half price.

I recently (well a few years ago) came across a 1/2 scale helmet I bought a number of years ago. It was a 1996 schumacher helmet and it had being in a junk box since the day I moved out of my parents. I decided to put it on ebay and put it on for starting price of 99p and buy it now price of £60. Within seconds it had a bid then the bidder emailed saying he had made a mistake and meant to press buy it now (that option was now gone). No problem, I will cancel the auction and re-list it for him. I went back to the auction page and bids were at £100 already. I let the auction run and it ended up selling for £260. I had no idea that these could increase in value.

So if anybody has a 1996 schumacher helmet make sure you keep in in good condition.
