Morning All,

I have a large stock of late F1 parts that I am looking for a retail outlet for, ideally in London. We trade in F1 cars and the surplus of parts are used by a local artist to make sculptures and widgets/paperweights/desktop discussion pieces etc. They need to be sen in the flesh and handled to get the real feel for them.

Does anyone have a nick backs shop or gallery in town that would be willing to display them on a revenue split basis?

All the best,

M

Example below of one of his sculptures made from Ferrari 056 Exhausts. They are beautiful.

I seem to remember, years ago there was a small shop that sold F1 stuff, racing suits and the like. Near Denmark Street, possibly? I'm thinking back ten years or more though...

The "art" is on www.fastest.rocks the cars are a different audience and at www.Heritage-f1.com

We are selling some units online, one in fact has gone to a very well known artist and I am trying to get his blessing to use his name at the moment. But the pieces need to be handled to understand and really see the engineering involved.

They have been in Octane and The Times this month which has helped.

These guys used to be in London just off Carnaby Street from what I remember. They had loads of F1 memorabilia in the store.

Could try them?
