Johnny Dumfries
Team Lotus driver with Ayrton Senna in 1986: Then the Earl of Dumfries and now the Marquis of Bute, he only had one season in Formula One. A graduate of Formula Three where he Won the UK championship, he needed longer to fulfil his potential, but he fell victim to the politics of Senna's demands for the Honda engine, when he had to be replaced by Nakajima.
This Bell helmet is painted in the Royal colours of Scotland with the Cross of St Andrews around the chin and gold banding above the vizor; it was used throughout the 1986 season and still has the radio-microphone and earpieces fitted for pit-communication.
