Authenticity is of the utmost importance to both you and us. Our experience, knowledge and vigilance ensures that we only purchase and therefore sell authentic items. We have been collecting F1 memorabilia for over two decades and have witnessed the good and the bad side of collecting.

Many of our items will come with manufacturer Certificates of Authenticity, for those that do not we will create a personal Letter of Authenticity with a detailed description of the item.

With the rise of internet websites, namely ebay, there has been an increasing amount of forged or fake items in the marketplace - please see our collectors guide for information on how to spot them - rest assured you will find no such items here.

Signed items - A Large portion of our stock is signed. We are extremely vigilant when purchasing signed items. All of our signed items are either obtained directly from the drivers,  from driver management, are officially signed editions, obtained from crew members or from a close circle of trusted associates. On top of that we also closely scrutinise every signature before purchasing. If it sounds to good to be true it usually is with signatures.

When buying signed items you must be careful. On ebay for example you see the same sellers selling 5 signed Kimi Raikkonen baseball caps every week. It is highly unlikely one seller could obtain so many and be willing to sell them so cheaply. On the other hand it is not unusual for a race used item to be signed - since the driver has worn it for 2 hours it is not surprising if he took 2 seconds to sign it. The same can not be said for a merchandise baseball cap with 1 million identical caps produced of each year.

Please buy with confidence and view our Collectors Guide for more information on how to buy wise.
