Description from the seller

Nigel Mansell Williams-Honda 1985 - Arai GPN 1:1 Competition - ANSI STD.Z90.1-1971 (AU 025920) Certified of the year 1971.
The Holy Grail for helmet collectors! We offer an authentic real racing helmet, the original Arai GPN model that defined the aesthetics of the late 70s and early 80s. This piece is not a modern replica; it is a real-era racing helmet, a direct witness to the circuits that witnessed the birth of the legend and Formula 1 World Champion Nigel Mansell.

This helmet stands out for its very narrow field of view, a distinctive technical feature that makes it visually imposing and extremely rare to find today. With its ANSI STD.Z90.1-1971 certification (No. AU 025920), it is a certified piece for history, radically differentiating itself from current reproductions.

Specifications and Authenticity of the Era:
- Original Arai GPN helmet, investment piece: Due to its rarity and the difficulty of finding an original Arai GPN in this level of preservation, its value in the F1 memorabilia market is extremely high and steadily rising.

- The Icon of the Arai GPN: This model is famous for having the smallest viewing angle of its generation, a peculiarity that made it the most aggressive and aerodynamic design of its time.

- ANSI Certification and Authenticity: It bears ANSI STD.Z90.1-1971 certification, a seal that guarantees its origin as an official safety helmet for high-level racing.

- Era Condition: A specimen from the 70s/80s kept in good condition, maintaining the structure, finishes, and essence of a helmet that survived the golden era of motorsport.

Technical Specifications:
- Brand/Model: Arai GPN (Original Era)
- Scale1:1 (Actual Size)
- ANSI STD.Z90.1-1971 Certification
- Serial Number AU 025920
- Approximate Dimensions: 29 cm (Height) x 25 cm (Width) x 35 cm (Length)
- Original Condition, very well preserved

For the Collector Who Demands Excellence:
If you are looking for a helmet that isn’t a cheap display replica, but a real helmet with history, this is your unit. The Arai GPN is the piece every great collector pursues for its radical design and technical significance. It is a unique opportunity to acquire a fundamental part of the legacy of Formula 1 World Champion Nigel Mansell and the technical history of Formula 1.
