I was fortunate enough find (on eBay) this photo-poster of Jo Siffert's F1 March 80 in qualifying at Jarama in April 1970. It is autographed by Jo. The seller is a Swiss motorsport memorabilia collector. There were a number of these commissioned to be made for the largest Swiss Heuer dealers. How many were actually made I don't know. I have been in contact with the photographer who worked for a Swiss production company, and he has confirmed the authenticity. It's quite large at 2'x4' and I have it in my study/office to admire every day. I own an Autavia/Siffert, so this is special to me.
Thanks...Bob Keller

: Hi all,

: during a really boring evening (alone at home, wife and daughter
: still at the sea for holidays, too tired to exit, I know what do
: you think, there is better to do alone at home rather than write
: this post ;-) ), it came in my mind to write a post about some
: motorsport memorabilia I have in my home... as Heuer has always
: been a brand associated with motorsport and as among the OTD
: forum collectors there are many people still working into the
: motorsport world (John Cote, Bullitt, just to quote two names
: that came in my mind), I'm sure that there will be many
: collectors that will have interesting memorabilia to show, so I
: decided to start this post to see what there is out there. So
: what do you have on your shelf?

: For some years I worked in Ducati MotoGP as test track electronics
: engineer and, when I left Ducati Corse to start a new personal
: adventure, my colleagues and my rider gave me some things as a
: gift (this is quite usual in this world):

: a) this is the right fairing of a Ducati Desmosedici GP11 (Nicky
: Hayden bike #1) that had a crash, with the signs and dedications
: of some of my colleagues:

:
:

: b) on the right the helmet of the tester Franco Battaini (the 2011
: Marlboro MotoGP TestTeam's rider I worked with) that he gave me
: the last day I saw him during the last test in Jerez:

:
:

: It has also the aero spoiler added during that test (a sort of
: prototypal addiction he tried that day), so for sure it's a true
: "unique piece":

: here with the Autavia 11630T in Viceroy colours:

:
:

: On the shelf there are also two valves of an 800cc MotoGP engine
: (smaller one) and of a 1198 SBK engine (greater one), plus a GP3
: small model signed by Troy Bayliss.

: c) this is my personal bike helmet, signed by my myth that is Troy
: Bayliss (Troy did some private tests with the MotoGP and the SBK
: after his "race retirement" at that time so sometimes
: happened he came with us in Mugello or Jerez):

:
:

: Obviously there are many others things I obtained at that time
: (track clothes used during my job, knee sliders and helmet
: visors signed by the Ducati riders, and so on) that I don't
: think are so interesting like the above two pieces.

: I would be happy to see which memorabilia are owned by other forum
: users regarding the motorsport world.

: What do you think?

: Best.
