Description from the seller
NO RESERVE: Benetton F1 Team Shirt - Monogrammed "GB" (Gerhard Berger) - 1996/97 Season
Up for auction is a true piece of motorsport history: an official Benetton Formula 1 Racing Team shirt from the 1996-1997 seasons.
The Star Feature: Gerhard Berger "GB" Monogram
This is not a standard fan-shop souvenir. The "GB" monogram embroidered inside the collar strongly indicates that this item was specifically produced for the team (Team Issue) and most likely issued directly to the legendary Austrian driver, Gerhard Berger, or his immediate technical staff. During this era, top-tier F1 teams used initials to distinguish personal gear for drivers, making this an incredibly rare find for serious collectors.
Historical Significance:
The 1996 and 1997 seasons marked a prestigious era for Benetton. Following Michael Schumacher's departure, the iconic duo of Gerhard Berger and Jean Alesi took the wheel. This shirt features the legendary blue and white livery that dominated the grid during the peak of the V10 engine era.
Details & Specifications:
Manufacturer: United Colors of Benetton (Official Team Provider).
Origin: Made in Italy.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Colors are vibrant, all original buttons are present, and the embroidery is crisp.
Embroidered Sponsor Logos: Features all the iconic period sponsors: Mild Seven, Renault, Elf, Kingfisher, Fondmetal, and Magneti Marelli.
Material: 100% High-quality Cotton.
Design: Short-sleeved, button-down collar, with high-density embroidery on the chest, sleeves, and back.
Why should you bid?
Exclusivity: The "GB" embroidery sets this piece apart from thousands of retail versions. It is a "pro-grade" garment.
Investment Grade: Authentic F1 memorabilia from the 90s, especially linked to a GP winner like Berger, is rapidly appreciating in value.
Museum Piece: Perfect for framing or as a centerpiece in a private motorsport collection.
