Relationships Built in Motorsport
The Support That Started AB Memorabilia
When Alex told 1979 Formula One World Champion Jody Scheckter about his ambition to create a specialist memorabilia business, Jody’s response was simple:
Then do it. I will support you. Jody Scheckter, 1979 Formula One World Champion
Jody backed AB Memorabilia from the beginning, followed by drivers including David Piper, Richard Attwood, Mario Andretti, Derek Bell and Brian Redman. These relationships support private signings, licensed products and memorabilia with direct provenance.
