James Hunt a Hesketh race used original nose cone, 1975, No.24, with areas of damage, 134cm. wide.
This original Hesketh nose cone was used by James Hunt at the end of the 1975 season. It was given to the vendor by a team member and has remained in his possession since then.
The Hesketh 308C was launched mid season but eventually only raced three times that year, once in the non championship Swiss Grand Prix where Hunt finished eighth and then in the Italian GP (fifth) and finally the US GP where Hunt finished fourth.
At the end of the season the Hesketh team closed down and the cars were sold to Frank Williams who used them in 1976. James Hunt joined McLaren for 1976 where he won the World Championship in his first year with the team.
