No James Blunt, very dissapoint.

Does it come with a James Hunt signature?






























Thought so.

well, at least this guy isn't a total dick.

I sent:

hey, i saw your last 10 or so auctions for this piston. i have to say that i admire your tenacity. however, if you do decide to get serious about selling it, i would be in the market for 200.00.

thank you for your time

i expected he would tell me to go screw myself but after a few days, he responded:

Hello Brian! Tenacity? Hmmm...I just want to let the world see the piston, to enjoy it, relish in it. I just thought because of the RUSH movie, people might appreciate seeing a bit of James Hunt historical F1 memorabilia. I don't plan to sell it. I have had it for 35 years and won't mind holding onto it for another 35. I have done some research on F1 car parts and driver apparel. Small autographed F1 memorabilia, like pistons, steering wheels, gloves, helmet visors and similar items are selling for $2,000 to $5,000. If I was serious about selling my piston, I would probably price it in that range. The reason for the 5 mil price tag is so that nobody will bid on it. Now if some mega rich Hollywood celebrity or high dollar F1 driver wanted to pay me the 5 mil for the piston, I would be crazy to not accept their money! Thanks for your interest.

Seems like a stand up guy!

Well that's cool. A kinda of unique way to show it off for sure, instead of an obscure blog or what not.
