1980 listing is for a SPARCO NECK COLLAR. 

It is made of NOMEX III, which is flame resistant and does not melt.

"Sparco’s Nomex® collars feature state-of-the-art designs and technology. This anatomically designed 360-degree collar offers safety and comfort at a reasonable price. Extensive testing by a panel of specialists showed how effective this collar can be at supporting the neck during crash tests. It features variable density padding to provide firmer support where the helmet is supported and softer support under the driver’s chin. A unique rear “spoiler” reduces the weight of the helmet on the back."

My late husband had raced a full season of Formula Ford back in the early 1980's, a few years before we met.  If you are looking at this listing, then you are aware of the financial realities of racing.  It took more than two decades until we were in a financial position for him to try racing again.  Unfortunately, his health had deteriorated significantly, but he decided to attempt to race again.  He went out and bought all new fire resistant clothing & equipment (excluding the outer suit, his old one still fit).  But when the time came to go to the racing school (needed before driving in some actual races), unfortunately, fate stepped in, and he was physically unable to fulfill his dream of racing again.  He passed away four years ago, and I am just starting to go through his things that need to be sold.  I will be listing additional items (socks, gloves, etc.) in the upcoming days or weeks.  If you need other items, please watch for my other listings.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my listing, and good luck with your racing!


I usually ship within one business day of receiving cleared payment, however, I have some major health problems which sometimes may cause me to take an extra day.  If you need this quickly, please let me know. Thank you for understanding.

Jaguar F-Type on video at Goodwood FoS

Fri, 13 Jul 2012

We have video of Jaguar’s Mike Cross taking the new Jaguar F-Type up the hillclimb at Goodwood as Jaguar show off their new toy. We thought we were pretty much done and dusted with news from this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, but as Jaguar has finally managed to edit a video of the new Jaguar F-Type at the FoS we thought it worth revisiting one more time. Jaguar made a bit of a show of the camouflaged F-Type at Goodwood – its first public outing – with guards standing outside the container the F-Type was housed in to keep sticky fingers and prying eyes at bay.

Maybach Coupe – we warned you it was coming!

Thu, 20 May 2010

The Maybach Coupe Mercedes have really tried hard to get the world to love its Playstation on wheels dressed up in its finest woods and leathers and given the moniker of a long dead marque. But the wealthy of this world seem to have made it clear – the Maybach is a bit of a loser. It shouts too loud; it tries too hard and it costs too much.
