Barry Sheene 1981 Akai Yamaha race-worn leathers, by makers Dainese, bearing his name and lucky number 7, Akai logos on the chest, back and sleeves, plus Dainese, AGV, Shell, Champion and other associated sponsors logos, the back heavily scuffed after a fall in that year's British GP; sold with two framed sets of photographs showing the accident sequence and Barry receiving medical attention afterwards, plus a letter of authenticity on Barry Sheene Racing Ltd headed paper (4) Wearing these actual leathers, Barry was brought down when Graeme Crosby lost the back of his Suzuki at Stowe on lap 3 of the 1981 British GP at Silverstone. He was not seriously hurt, a cigarette soon helping cure him, and he went on to win his final Grand Prix in Sweden, two races later.
