2000-01 Ferrari 550 Barchetta Helmet Fiorenzo Fornari Test Pilot F40

An original Ferrari helmet, as supplied with any of the 448 examples of the 550 Barchetta, produced between 2000 and 2001. What makes this helmet special is that it belonged to Fiorenzo Fornari, a Ferrari test driver who worked as a development driver on the F40. He has signed the helmet on the side which could be retained or removed at the new owner’s discretion. Nevertheless, this helmet would have been an optional extra with the 550 Barchetta, with European cars being supplied with helmets, and US delivery cars with hats. The helmet is in good condition, and still retains its original leather visor as well, done to replicate racing helmets of the 50’s. A lovely collectable piece and a great item if you are showing your car at owner’s days or concours events.
