Vintage 1971 24 Hours of Le Mans Race Program.
Stunningly mint condition for its age!
The cover follows the design of the 1971 race poster and features a color photo, by Andre Delourmel from the city of Le Mans, which sums up the conditions under which the 1970 edition took place. The section chosen is somewhat unusual as it is the section of the circuit between Arnage and Maison Blanche which was used for the last time in 1970.
It measures some 21 x 27 cm and counts 112 pages which are filled to the brim with information on the cars, the race and of course great period advertising.
The booklets also served as a ticket in the grand prize draw and, consequently, they were individually numbered; this one being 011070 but it might be a little late to claim your prize now...
If we would have to describe this booklet in three words, they would be: Mint, Mint, Mint....
True time capsule condition.
The race was won by Dr. Helmut Marko and Gijs van Lennep in their Porsche 917 K with a total of 397 laps to their name or 5.335 KM, a distance record that stood until 2010!
