As Villeneuve approached the end of his F1 career, he signed on with the Credit Suisse Petronas team for the start of the 2005 season. During that series of races, he wore many items featured in this lot, including a pair of dual-signed race-used gloves featuring unique inscriptions. There is also a pair of race-used boots and a pair of race-issued boots made by Puma with a signature on each boot. Throw in more signed team-issued treasures like a 2005 team shirt, two pairs of 2005 Nomex race underwear, and three race-issued visors and this becomes a fine haul for any racing fan. Originating from Jacques’ personal collection, a signed LOA will accompany.
Villeneuve’s race-used gloves in this lot were produced by Puma and both pairs show plenty of wear throughout. The back of each hand is autographed on the blue material in black ink and the inside cuffs contain notations in blue ink. One pair says “04-05 II” on each cuff while the other pair states “03-05 II” on the right glove while the left says “JV9-05”.
Moving on to the Puma Future Cat Mid Pro boots in this package, the race-used pair shows several examples of wear throughout and the tongue tag is intact. They are each signed on the side in silver ink and the soles have stickers affixed which say “N-Ring”. The race-issued pair show no evidence of wear, but they are each signed on the toe in black ink.
The team-issued shirt is signed on the front pocket and the tag inside bears Villeneuve’s initials. Each of the two full body Nomex race underwear garments are signed on the upper left side.
Finally, the three signed race-visors feature differing styles and each is signed on the left side. The materials used come as clear, yellow, or pink with silver ink being used on the latter visor.
