Jacky Ickx - 1979 - Replica helmet

Full size - Twin Window Eye-port helmet- 1979 - Jacky Ickx helmet

Jacques "Jacky" Ickx is a legendary Belgian former racing driver who won the 24 Hours of Le Mans six times and achieved eight wins in Formula One.

Here we offer one of the most iconic helmets of this legendary F1 driver, this simple design with the very dark blue (almost black) and the white striping is very powerful and very recognizable, combined with the twin eye helmet design makes this a very remarkable and unique piece.
This vintage 1970 Shoei helmet is painstakingly and professionally restored to match and recreate the very rare XF-GP Twin Window Eye port helmet that Bell developed. An original XF-GP Twin Window Eye port helmet is extremely expensive, so we recreated a very good version of this iconic and striking helmet!

This vintage F1 helmet has been fully stripped and then perfectly painted with new graphics and fitted with an original new period visor, the lower part of the helmet there's a Velcro rim attached, this was used by drivers to add the head sock, an extra fire protection to shield the drivers neck and face from fire, as you can see we also added a communication device.

The helmet has all the original SNELL 1970 (for professional motorsports), the SHCA, size, and warning labels are still inside.

This beautiful piece is perfect for displaying in any collection, home, mancave or office. Please see the photos they are the best description of this item.
