Courage and Gurney
Anyone got any resonable pics of these guys helmets??
Iam having mine painted in two weeks and would like to commemrate them by pianting my helmet as theres where, although not sure which yet. Im pretty sure Piers Courage had a silver helmet with a 'broken' black line down the middle, but I cant seem to find a Gurney helmet pic. Any points would be appreciated. Its either that or I go with my original idea of having the Great Gilles Helmet. Thanks Mike |

Didn't Dan have an all black helmet? Or is it just that I have only seen black and white photos? I think he was one of the first (if not the first) to use a Bell Star, and I'm pretty sure that was black. You could do a lot worse than following Dan's example, whatever it may have been. A great driver and thoroughly good guy too.

I believe Courage's colours were derived from the (neck)tie
colours of his old school - Eton College. |
