    You can build a replica, but I don't think it's street legal.

    1. Who cares? Many of us aren't street-legal, either!

  2. The helmet indicates Graham Hill behind the wheel. I would guess by public look of the road, spa franconchamps for the course.

  3. Anyone remember the opening credits to the British series "The Prisoner" with Patrick McGoohan?

    He drove a Lotus Seven S II with a very similar paint scheme, which captured the notion nicely.

    Definitely a quicker commute than the average sedan.

  4. That's Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill's helmet was the Iconic Black with the vertical white dashes https://images.app.goo.gl/Hu4gxWv9xbDpNgzV8

    1. The white pickets on Graham Hill's helmet are oar blades, the symbol of the London Rowing Club. Hus son Damon wore the same design on his helmet.
