This is an exact replica of the helmet worn by Formula One World Champion James Hunt during his last season in the sport.

The design consist of Hunt’s typical black color with his name in bold letters on each side and three bands on the back an the sides painted in red, blue, and yellow as a tribute to his school: the Wellington College. 

The main difference from other designs throughout his racing career can be seen only in the shape of the safety device.

The 1979 campaign saw Hunt drive a car different to the McLaren for the first time in four years. He drove for Wolf Racing in 1979, but bad results in the first seven races of the season —six retirements and no points— prompted an abrupt retirement from F1 for Hunt.
