Nigel Mansell SIGNED 1:2 scale Ferrari helmet, full Marlboro, Official Bell, COA. In preparation for the 1989 season, Mansell became the last Ferrari driver to be personally selected by Enzo Ferrari before his death in August 1988, an honour Mansell described as “one of the greatest in my entire career”. In Italy he became known as “il leone” (“the lion”) by the tifosi because of his fearless driving style.
