Default Selling a couple of orginal F1 pit crew suits

Edit BOTH SUITS HAVE BEEN SOLD. I am selling my Jordan "buzzin hornet" era (circa 1999) Sparco fire suit and a Benetton Renault (circa 1997) fire suit. These are 2 layer suits that I have used for racing with PCA and NASA for the past 3 years. I have decided to go with a ultra light Sparco suit. If any rennlister is interested send me a PM. If someone puts a bid in on ebay, I will leave the auction run (to be fair). If a registered member is interested, I would sell them for 500.00ea off ebay.

Specs: the Yellow suit is a true Sparco size 60 and is a little tight on my 47 inch chest and 36 inch waist, height is good to 6'2" (I am 5'11" and 225lbs) The blue suit is a little baggy on me and does not have a size tag as I believe it was custom made for the pit crew member (as only Benetton would do!) I would estimate it to be a size 62. The yellow suit is near perfect except for a unknown faint stain on the left leg (does not even show up in the pics) the blue suit was my primary suit for the past 3 years and is a little more faded but still in outstanding condition.

Cool! Would they be too big for me at 5'11" and a 33" waist? I hate it on my kart suit where I pull the straps at the waist and I only get like 1/2" velcro and the rest is overhang.

I want that blue suit!!!!!!! I was just at NorthStar looking at driving suits, how cool would this be?

I'm 6'1" @ 235 - waist between 36-38, I need to loose 40lbs, this would be an excellent incentive.

H-S
The blue would fit without dropping 40lbs. I have been as big as 232lbs and it still fit.

Thanks for the restraint Rick, Mikey emailed me a comment off line, it must be the holiday season, you guys are playing too nice!!!


Gregg,
I thought you had a cool F1 suit?? How weird would that be to show up at NASA next year, you wearing my old suit AND driving a red S2?
