1958 Vanwall Formula 1 team mechanic's overalls, a royal blue one-piece design by Berg?res Fr?res of Mayfair, featuring embroidered Vanwall and BP logos in yellow and green silk above the two zip breast pockets, body-length front zip fastener, front zip trouser pockets, elasticated cuffs and ankles, manufactured in ''Rigmel'' Shrunk - as issued to the team's mechanics at the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix, one of only 18 such garments produced, the original wearer's name marked in ballpoint pen on the maker's label, but now faded and illegible Stirling Moss and Tony Brooks won six Grand Prix for Vanwall in 1958, the team taking the very first F1 World Constructors title. Unfortunately their third driver Stuart Lewis-Evans crashed fatally in the season finale and owner Tony Vandervell all but withdrew the team from further racing as a result.
