My prized posessions are photos of myself with Ayrton Senna, Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher in Adelaide which are framed on the wall.
Also have two steering wheels mounted on plaques, one Betrand Gachot's from the Larrousse LC192 and Erik Comas's from the Ligier JS37. I also have a set of Olivier Panis's overalls from the 1996 Australian GP. A few other pieces like Mugen-Honda spark plugs from the Ligier JS41 and a truck load of titanium skid plates and few other bobs and bits.

I had about 50 classic F1 and racing related tee-shirts.I kept them in my bottom drawer and had usually taken a few with me on tour from time to time.
My wife was always bitching about how they cluttered up the place and looked tatty.
A few years ago I went on a winter tour leaving them all safely tucked away. When I returned I went down to my little pub for a beer.
I was listening in on a conversation with a few of my race fan mates who were discussing about how they saw a treasure trove of F1 tee-shirts sitting in the window of a local charity shop.
I thought....Hmmm...
I went home, looked in my drawer, to find..... ALL GONE!!!
The next morning I awoke early, marched down to the charity shop, and bought them all back (minus one classic 80's AGIP shirt) for 50p each!!!
Putting them back in the drawer, I then waited....
Later that very day my wife was putting away some laundry and I heard her yell...OH ****!!!

my prized one though is one my girlfriend (now wife) bought me when we were on holiday in st tropez. It is a fully Marlboro liveried 2003 ferrari. Anyone who has collected these or knows anything about die-cast f1 cars knows it is pretty hard to find a tobacco branded car.
It sits on my man shelf in the lounge!
I worked at Silverstone for some time too, and spent many an hour in the BRDC clubhouse where they have a small part of the worlds largest collection of scaled motor racing vehicles, everything including le mans, f1, touring cars etc. It's very impressive.

2007 Ferrari cap
2007 Ferrari race jacket
2010 Mercedes cap
2010 Mercedes race jacket (it's a fake, but it's the best damn fake ever.. Looks 100% authentic and better than official merchandise)
Ferrari key chain
Michael Schumacher shirt (circa 2002 or 2003, I forget)
I had an F1 coffee mug that was really nice looking, but it broke. I need to get a new one.

I snuck into the pits during qualifying at the 1978 Canadian GP as a kid and got autographs from almost every driver on the grid.
They actually though it was cool that I could sneak in, so they called other drivers to sign my book, this was led by Villeneuve.
Villeneuve won the race the next day.
The Gilles Villeneuve autograph is framed in a poster, the rest are in a bank safety deposit box to give to my kids.

My prized posessions are photos of myself with Ayrton Senna, Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher in Adelaide which are framed on the wall.

I would have assumed that these memorabilia would not just be things that can be purchased.
I snuck into the pits during qualifying at the 1978 Canadian GP as a kid and got autographs from almost every driver on the grid.
They actually though it was cool that I could sneak in, so they called other drivers to sign my book, this was led by Villeneuve.

Outstanding!!!!
I guess you could say my roughly 75K racing image archive is my memorobilia. Started taking snaps in '74 and took my last ones...on film anyway...in '93 or therabouts.
Since Gilles was my favorite, here is my Gilles set on flickr.....

Here's the link to all my stuff on flickr......

It represents roughly 1% of what I have.
Needless to say, I still have a lot of scanning ahead of me.

what about shooting some pictures on here?I have far too many 1/43 scale models to list, along with a stack of race programs and posters. My '76 Autosport book is overflowing with autographs. I have a '77 McLaren mechanics shirt. I also have drawers full of stickers, caps and t-shirts.

I have a host of magazines/posters/prints, along with a number of Autocourses dating back to the very early 80's. Love getting them out for a read after a long while.
I also have personally signed caps/books of Fernando Alonso, Michael Schumacher, Jacques Villeneuve, Valentino Rossi and Massa.

That McLaren is Gilles Silverstone race version minus the tobacco markings.

I couldn't agree more Alan. Fantastic artwork.
The 77 US GP cover looks as though Paddock at Brands Hatch may have been used for reference

They really are terrific aren't they?! When I covered the IMSA series in the US in 1991 I was always struck by the programme covers (and race posters) in that they were almost always paintings as opposed to photographs.
I will try and dig some out and put them up.
