Footnotes

Two helmets of this design have been produced by Frédéric Platéus for Thierry Neuville to wear during the 2024 Monte Carlo WRC rally, It is common practice for all drivers and teams to carry a spare helmet to all events in the unlikelihood of radio issues which may force the driver to change helmets. Thierry Neuville will supply the helmet to Bonhams that he was wearing at the time his rally concludes. It is this helmet that we are offering for sale in this unique single lot online auction. As there are two helmets, the identification numbers on the helmet the buyer receives may differ slightly to the helmet illustrated.
