THIS RUN OF MCLAREN SPEEDMARK NECKLACES WILL BE THE LAST, NO MORE CAN BE MADE AFTER THESE, SO PLEASE DON'T MISS OUT.

DESCRIPTION

Here we have a very rare opportunity to own a piece of one of the most famous, most loved and most respected teams in the history of F1... McLaren!

These McLaren speedmark logo necklaces have been made from the right hand side pod of Fernando Alonso's 2015 McLaren mp4-30 and raced in the 2015 Austrian Grand Prix, even though he didn't get very in that race as he was collected by Kimi Raikkonen on the first lap and ultimately ended up on top of the Ferrari in one of the most memorable incidents in recent F1 memory... Luckily both drivers were completely unharmed... but for a couple of bruised egos haha! Some of the keyrings still bare the scars from this incident too!!!

These necklaces have been cut and finished by hand and then fitted with a silver pinch bail and mounted onto a 925 Silver snake chain.

These are super cool and super rare, McLaren parts are so difficult to get hold of, not only is it pretty cool to own a McLaren piece, but it's been driven by non other than Fernando Alonso and hit by Kimi Raikkonen too!!!!

On the reverse is the silver heat shielding coating. 

The necklaces will come with a signed, double sided certificate of authenticity, with one side showing the incident and the sidepod these speedmarks have been cut from and boxed within a lovely black McLaren giftbox.

Due to the damage the sidepods suffered, some of the speedmarks will show some damage, ie paint chipped, scratches and others won't.

WHY I DO THIS

Having witnessed the waste produced by Formula One over the past 20 years I decided 

that I could make a difference and at the same time give fans of the sport a unique 

opportunity to own the ultimate in F1 memorabilia. There are stories about fields in 

southern England having shipping containers packed full of F1®  cars and parts being buried, certainly this was true of teams up the early 2000's. More recently many teams archive parts, but these archives have to be emptied, many items are destroyed (see the secretly filmed video of what one of the largest teams in F1®  do when clearing out their archives) and due to their inability to be recycled, are put into landfill, something which will only have a huge detrimental effect to our environment in the future. Below I have embedded video of what McLaren do with their parts they no longer have a use for, pretty saddening and shocking that so much material like this ends up in landfill.

ABOUT ME

I had always wanted to do something about the waste our sport creates, when about 15 years ago the idea of selling obsolete, damaged, scrapped car parts came to mind. I didn't want to just sell on the parts on as is, I wanted to give my fellow fans the chance of owning the best memorabilia I could possibly offer and with my arts background I found that these F1®  car parts really leant themselves to being redesigned and re-purposed into something new, something beautiful, something cool. 

Over the years however I have had to call a halt to this process due the ongoing battle I'm having with Multiple Sclerosis and the inability to physically be able to put these gifts together. Right now I am having periods of good health which enable me to get back to doing what I absolutely love, the design and manufacturing of upcycled F1®  car part gifts. I am using this opportunity to give something back to the organisations which have helped not only myself, but every single person with MS to maintain, manage and cope with the symptoms this illness presents.

POSTAGE

Due to the Royal Mail losing so many parcels and the increase in scam buyers I have been forced into sending all parcels by recorded delivery and as such I can no longer offer a free postage method. I'm trying to find an alternative courier service but in the meantime I will make sure to only charge what is quoted and where I can, I'll try and be cheaper than what the Royal Mail quotes.

UK Postage-  Postage within the UK will be sent via 2nd class signed for. If however, you require a speedier  method of postage then please select 1st class recorded upon completing your order.

International Shipping- I will ship worldwide, if you can't see a price for the country you reside in then 

please message me before bidding and I will get a shipping quote sent over ASAP.
