In order to rise funds to perpetuate the memory of the late Gilles Villeneuve, the Gilles Villeneuve museum located in Berthierville is now offering for sale a very special item.

The museum has produced a 100-piece, certified and numbered edition of the first Formula 1 contract Gilles Villeneuve signed with team McLaren in 1977.


Each copy is numbered and has been stamped by the museum. The original contract was signed by Villeneuve and Teddy Mayer, the general manager of McLaren in 1977.

Each copy is sold $100 plus taxes, and includes a membership card of the museum and the special commemorative DVD that carries three exclusive interviews as well as rarely seen footage of Gilles Villeneuve at home and competing in F1.

To get your copy, drop by the museum in Berthierville, or call 1 800 639-0103 or send an email at museegillesvilleneuve@bellnet.ca.
