Hi dear collectors wave.gif

I am collecting autographs of racing drivers since 1965. My first autogaph I got personally from Jochen Rindt at his exhibition in Vienna. But Dieter Quester motivated me to try to get signed photos from many drivers, when he offered me a beautiful photo of his BMW-mountain-spyder and signed it personally for me (Vienna-Aspern airport race 1968). I attended many races (F1, FIA-GT, WTCC, DTM) in Brno and Zeltweg, also 1000 km Monza, Ennstal-Classic, several exhibitions and also the Festival of Speed in Goodwood and the Goodwood Revival.
Later I specialized on formula one, Indy 500 and moreover the winner of the three most important long distance-races: Le Mans 24 hours, Daytona 24 hours and Sebring 12 hours.

By the time I got a rather complete collection: Only two living drivers of the Indy500 (since 1950) are missing in my collection, and only from four living F1-drivers I don't have an autograph. Moreover I got all living winners of the Le Mans 24 hours.

Perhaps anyone wants to exchange or is looking for some rarities, maybe I can offer some spares. Or do you have to offer some special signed photos? Please feel free to send an email.
Regards from Vienna (Austria)

Alfred has a great collection, and he is a good guy too. We have done some transactions and I recommend him.

That's true. He is one of my hero in collecting smile.gif
BTW. Autograph collecting must have been much more difficult in 70's - 80's without internet.... Respect!
