-

All hail the King of the Stuntmen and bask in the big-jump glow of the great man’s big collar jumpsuit and supercool cane.

If you’re an Evel Knievel fan then it’s time to raid the piggybank because the world’s most famous stunt man’s most recognisab­le bits of personal kit are up for auction right now through the Heritage Capital Corporatio­n, based in Dallas, USA.

Knievel’s iconic 1972 jumpsuit (this was the suit that he first appeared in with the famous ‘V’ line of stars on his chest instead of the previous ‘X’, the white leather and the oversized collar and cuffs plus the zip-in flares) and his diamond-topped, golddetail­ed walking cane with secret compartmen­t for carrying liquor (usually Wild Turkey in Knievel’s case) are now on sale.

At the time of writing the King of the Stuntmen’s suit is currently sitting at $30,000 (£23,898) with the cane at $17,000 (£13,542).
