This very good replica is extremely rare, a very hard helmet to replicate with its unique peak and visor combination that only Ronnie sported. This helmet looks superb in and out with only a very few minor marks which is remarkable considering its age, comes with a 1970 Snell classification, and is one of the ultimate and most recognizable classic F1 helmets.
Sure to be the center-piece of any F1 collection, helmet bag included.
