The Le Mans Model Collection 1949-2009 (Cofanetto Con 3 Volumi)

Product description

This trilogy of books contains a remarkable collection of models of every single car that raced at Le Mans between 1949 and 2009 – over 3,000 cars. Each model is photographed in three views and captions tell us the details of the car, drivers and race position, but slightly frustratingly not the makers of the models. Here, for the first time, one can see and compare all the various makes and models, from the famous to the obscure. Not only are there three views of every model, but the salient facts are given as to who drove each car, whom the entrant was and how each performed. Salient details of over 3,000 cars and over 30,000 facts Featuring 9,000 photographs and 61 specially commissioned paintings plus an introductory resumé of every race Three views of each model The collection includes 565 cars from the 1950s, 522 from the 1960s, 533 from the 970s, 513 from the 1980s, 446 from the 1990s and 506 from the 00s Book 1 – 1949 to 1969 (354 pages) Book 2 – 1970 to 1989 (324 pages) Book 3 – 1990 to 2009 (296 pages)
