Title: Help - Really long shot 1999 poster Post by: clkgtrlm1 on June 29, 2011, 11:29:57 am Help - (also posted in 'Help' section).
I am trying to get hold of an old copy of a Le Mans poster from 1999 Either hard copy or Hi-Res image. It was not one of those 'common' posters on general release - more a build up / pr / local promotion poster. Basically it shows the Toyota GT-One left side of the Mercedes CLK from 1998 race - track location is beginning of pit straight (I think!) It has the old tag line (and still one of the best) "La legende s'ecrit sous vos yeax" and I think it was a sepia photo. Any help greatly appreciated - willing to offer cash or beer tokens Thanks Dean Title: Re: Help - Really long shot 1999 poster Post by: Bonio on June 29, 2011, 11:48:06 am Is it this one ?

That is definitely the correct image. But there must have been a race version of the same poster. I will have to check - I do only have a very old photo of the correct poster. How did you find this one so quickly??

I would cover all expenses Smokes of course. Image needed for a Le Mans style bar / chill out area in the conservatory - can't believe she agreed to that! In honour of the old Tertre Rouge.

Title: Re: Help - Really long shot 1999 poster Post by: clkgtrlm1 on July 16, 2011, 07:41:46 pm Yes Lorry - I can't find it anywhere, but as you can see from my photo, something like it DOES exist....I'm wondering if it was just a wall poster that was not generally published now...?
Might have to settle for a pre-qual one - would you be willing to sell a copy? Deano |
