Based on the number of jumpers, you'd think RM just raided Mansell’s closet. 
That said, I am tempted to bid on some of the lower-value items (like the jumpers).

Nigel Mansell is one of the legendary F1 drivers, with a Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship in 1992 along with 32 F1 grands prix wins. Now, some key items from his racing history will hit the block in an RM Sotheby’s auction on April 23-28.
What are some of those historic pieces?
A signed Canon Williams Stand 21 race suit worn by Mansell during the 1987 F1 season. (He earned six wins that year.)
A race-worn and signed Canon Williams Arai helmet from the year he won the F1 title, 1992.
And speaking of that F1 title, the actual trophy awarded to Mansell for his F1 World Drivers’ Championship. Its estimated value is £20,000 to £30,000 (approximately $26,000-$39,000 USD). The helmet from that year, incidentally, is estimated to fetch even more, somewhere between £25,000 to £50,000.
