R&D Prototype / Development Prototype. - Shoei

Lot Description: Exclusive lot of industrial design and automotive technical development. This is an original bipartite mold made of high-density fiberglass along with its corresponding white resin/plastic volume prototype/mock-up, modeled after the aerodynamic lines of a full-face helmet from the prestigious Japanese brand Shoei (a silhouette reminiscent of the iconic XR / X-Spirit series). As a pure piece of technical development and R&D (Research and Development) lab work, it lacks commercial inscriptions or serial numbers, showcasing the most raw and artisanal stage of the industrial toolmaking process prior to mass production. The inner black mold retains an excellent polished finish for part release, while the white shell serves as a witness to the exact volume. An extremely rare collector's item to find on the market, ideal for motorcycle memorabilia enthusiasts, Shoei brand collectors, industrial design students, or as a spectacular "Automobilia" display piece for boutique workshops and premium offices. Condition: Used in a design studio/factory environment. Shows logical signs of external handling on the fiberglass that do not affect the internal mold. Please see photos to assess details. It will be shipped perfectly packaged.

Estimate:£126.47
