Hailwood's Heuer to go under the hammer

Lorddrakul · 2019-10-10 05:55:24

A gold Heuer Carrera 1158 that belonged to motorbike legend Mike Hailwood is to go under the hammer at Sotheby's. Expected to fetch about £15k plus, it was gifted to Hailwood by Jack Heuer in the early 70s. A particularly nice piece of racing history.

Wow, it seems the power of personality and history is still a significant effect.
