Well spotted, it is a Prost '93 from his last year (and Championship). The Damon is a '96 from his winning year...

The blue & yellow had me a bit stumped - I always thought that bit of Prost's was white with red stripes......

Okay, okay, I'll get my coat.... errrr Anorak!

Are we allowed to ask which team you work for (own?) or will Bernie put out a contract on us for receiving classified info!

The problem being that you could deliver Felipe's helmet... (make your own joke in this space).

This one I may come to regret selling last month - a Bamford PVD chrono from the very same Bamford that customises Rolexes (starting at around £10k)! When George Bamford opened his store on Sloane Square in 2009, these were made available at £275 in limited numbers - only found out via Octane magazine and went straight there as the colour combi was something different and I was after a PVD chrono. The movement was, I believe a Miyota. Really well constructed and unusual with the pale blue. Turned heads (and some stomachs) when the baby blue ostrich strap was fitted!



Pictured with Fernando Alonso's 2004 F1 helmet:



Then the obligatory F1 branded watch. Nice piece with Seiko movement but got bored of it, easily replaced if I get the urge again! Sold late 2011 (pictured with Michael Schumacher's 2001 F1 helmet):



Last, the Heuer stopwatch that I picked up a few years ago. Nice Leonidas 7 jewel movement. Sold to a chap restoring an original Mini Cooper S to rally spec so will be dash mounted soon:



Sadly, No photos of the Breitling J Class, Omega Racing edition, Tag Heuer's or Sicura vintage's I've moved on
