Vintage 1949 Le Mans 24 Hours by Roger Labric and Geo Ham.
This book, issued in 1949 by the A.C.O. (organizing body of the 24 Heures du Mans), if often considered as THE prized possession for serious Le Mans collectors.
It was a limited edition of 1000 pcs back in 1949 of which only few survive to this day and of which most have found their way into collections where they will probably stay for ever.
We are very proud to be able to offer for sale this book which survives in decent condition but, as the photos clearly show, with a very shabby spine and weak, but intact, binding. So, no loose or missing pages!
Being a BIG book, some 25 x 32 cm or 10 x 13 inches and 471 pages (some 6 cm or 2.5 inches thick!) it is a very detailed account of the 24 Hours races as held in the pre WW2 era (1923 - 1939) including stats and reports on the drivers with countless illustrations and portraits by the fantastic artist, Geo Ham (Georges Hamel).
Very, VERY scarce and an absolute "must have" for the endearing Le Mans collector!
Only 1 available of course !
