FS - 1999 F1 Prost Team Nomex suit

[Massive Lee]

I am located in Montreal (home of the defunct Canadian GP) and have
had one of the Prost mechanics Nomex for 9 years. It is in 9.9/10
condition (only very slight scuff on the wrists) and comes with all
velcro patches and carrying bag. I bought it directly from D. Thierry,
F1 mechanic for the Prost Team.

I wore it myself only once during a Vintage race weekend in Circuit
Mont-Tremblant. Size 58 fits 6ft tall drivers, weighting 150+lbs

It is now up for sale for $1700usd.

Sigh.

Seriously nice piece though, I have seen similar F1 suits go for $2k+.

Best of luck with the sale.

How often do the team members sell off their suits?

Seems like a great perk - gotta file an application and get me on one of them teams...:mrgreen:

Thanks for the good word TD. Generally, crew suits are worth half of driver suits value (driver suits can even bear astronomical prices if it was worn at a given event where a pole position was reached).

I understand that the suit I sell is above average (crew suit) price, but the condition is exceptional, and I have never seen a crew suit come with all the patches. That suit is almost like new. No stain, no scuff, no excuse.

Crew will sell their suit once a year. You have to access the hot pits and paddocks, and ask them. Let's just say that a friend of mine was technical advisor and did the F1 inspections before the races, and asked directly to D. Thierry if he could buy his suit. I then had the suit shipped to me at the end of the season.
