24 Hours of Le Mans Posters and Memorabilia Shop

These flyers were handed out at the race to spectators to show them around the track.

Very scarce as most of them were tossed away after the race or disappeared into the mists of time.

VERY good condition for its age.

A GREAT set from the first post WW2 running of the 24 Heures du Mans.

The colour illustration on the cover is from the hand of Andre Galland, who would also drew the 1950 version and a good number of cover illustrations for the pre-war programs.
The postwar period was full of hope for all nations. The flags were present but this time they surrounded the globe in a fraternal spirit. The race was no longer supposed to be a source of rivalry but of solidarity.

New flags were present on the illustration. From left to right and top to bottom: The United Kingdom, Norway, Belgium, France, The United States, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Italy and The Czech Republic.

This vintage & original 1949 photo shows the Delettrez Diesel before the start of the 1949 running of the 24 Heures du Mans.

The car in question is the very first Diesel-engined car that ever competed in the 24 Hours.

The car was run by the Jean & Jacques Delettrez who owned the Ets. Delettrez company.

It was a strange combination of various elements... a pre-war UNIC chassis, a GMC Diesel engine and a Delage V12 body...

In lap 123, roughly half way through the race, Jacques Delettrez ran out of fuel but managed to complete the lap on the starter motor! Unfortunately, the battery gave up the ghost and they were unable to complete the race.

The photo measures some 23 x 17.5 cm of 9 x 7 inches and is in excellent condition.

The back carries the stamp of the photographer.
