Sad day indeed. Great man, great rider/driver and after retirement, a great ambassador to motor
sport.
Apart from his motor sport achievments, my abiding memory of him, will be his smile. It was permanently on his face.

Would imagine, unless a family member is really interested, they will go to auction. It would be nice to think they could stay together in a museum or even a private collection. A bit out of my price range I think though, interesting video Paul, thanks for sharing.

There is sound Al!
Quick 917 video with Brian Johnson of AC/DC fame driving.
Al doesn't have the gravelly voice, but he pretty much has the same accent.
