Your Motorsport Memorabilia.

[rhysenna]

So what memorabilia have you got, be it autographs, car parts, programmes etc?

Mine only consists of old programmes, models and a few autographs.

Would love to see what you chaps have out there.

[Cyder]

I got all of the entry lists and results of events I've competed in.

I also have the British GP 2006 programme as the only f1 race I've ever been to.

I lost my greatest memorabilia in a housemove a couple of years ago.... a signed programme by Gilles.... He was eating with the Ferrari mechanics... and I dropped my pen into his pasta sauce being so overwhelmed of talking to him... doh

Other than that.... I get a mention in Magnussen's autobiography - I cant lose that

1984 Van Diemen RF84. I believe he won a heat of the '84 Formula Ford Festival in it, which was his first win in a car. It was the white car, with red Ricoh logos as opposed to the '85 car which was red with white logos.

I would love to get a full set of Autosport magazines for 1984.

[Pints]

I have a Williams cap from a couple of seasons ago.

Silverstone 1979

[Mrs Pitstop]

I've turned our office at home into a motorsport room. Various signatures, photos, ticket stubs, model cars, programmes, books, plus personal stuff like my first track day sticker, photos of our cars etc. It's not to everyones taste but it's the only room in the house I allow clutter and ornaments etc. What I'd really like is a few bits of front wing on the wall but I'm saving up for that!!















There's still a bit of wall space left, but I do have more photos to put up...

[Killer2005]

A signed picture of Keke Rosberg, and a couple of tyres apparenly used by Mansell at Portugal in the 80's, can't remember which year though

[jurbie]

A signed photo of this years Peugeot 908's which I got at Silverstone a couple of weeks ago as well as various media passes I've picked up from events. The missus has a got a rear wheel from Nick Heidfelds Williams. That was a birthday present from myself and whilst some might accuse me of buying her stuff I want for myself I'd just like to point out that she also has a collection of rubber marbles collected from inside the Monaco tunnel the day after the GP.

I have lots of photos etc. collected over the years but have no idea how you put them into a post. Is it possible to scan them straight in? Computing is a mystery to me - I grew up in the mechanical age!

[HoHoHo]

I have a couple of items


Lewis signed shirt by Martin_Bennett, on Flickr

And a hat signed by all bar three of the 2009 Le Mans drivers.


Le Mans 24 Hour - Audi hat signed by drivers by Martin_Bennett, on Flickr

My race programme collection is by far my most treasured possession (if a collection can be considered to be singular). I missed my infant events but from about the age of 6 I've kept everything and now probably past 300 events. Where possible, tickets, flyers, qualifying sheets and now I'm doing a bit of writing, press passes as well. This is the really personal stuff which means everything to me. Otherwise the whole house is full of junk from a bottle of ale celebrating Tom Wheatcroft's birthday to the Canadian issue Gilles Villeneuve stamps from 1997. Love automobilia!

I was very impressed when Berger chucked it on pole at Hockenheim in '97 following what had been the circumstances.

Pre quali his odds were 33/1 I think, following his 'Lazarus' return his odds were 6/1.

Being a massive Berger fan that was enough for me, I put a tenner on at the local booky and won 70 quid!

I've got a GB signed copy of a Graham Turner print of that race.

I live very close to Coniston, just before my old man passed away - he gave me an autograph book. It has one page of signatures, as follows.

Donald Campbell.
Leo Villa.

And a few other 'crew' from the attempt.

I remember being a young kid and the 'folks' taking me up to Coniston, skim stones etc.

My old man told me about a bloke who had a Blue boat who was brave beyond words.

My favourite piece of memorabilia.
