Very odd sale, priced at £295 pounds, a 1995 selection of programme, poster and ticket. Not sure of the seller as he/she states in good condition for a 30 year programme, so maths is not their strongest talent. If it sells for that much i suspect Andrew will be selling his collection and funding his own entry to the 2020 race

I saw that one Simon - I very nearly sent the seller a message asking him if he was having a giraffe......
![]() Yes, on that basis, my programme and ticket collection would be worth a pretty penny..... ![]() |

Expensive for a ten year old race suit. But i prefer shorts and t shirt at le mans where the sun always shines.

Race suits always get put up for several hundred £'s.... Even if they have no drivers name on them.

If the suit is to an approved standard that is still valid I suspect it is a cheap way into a decent racesuit for a club level or track day driver, over and above it being a collector's item.

Yeah, that could well be true Guy, but we see quite a lot of suits from the 80's and 90's on eBay which I would have thought were now out of standard...?

Well ebay can sell anything, it uses the old system, "ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE" and in today's world there are plenty of people sitting at home with money to spend.

I once thought it would be a nice thing to have a cool ex-pro race suit, but you are right they are either too expensive and/or out of date. Also part of me would rather have one only I had been sweaty in.

It was probably a case of 'it's not what you know but who you know' when it was taken down......

£300 is a bit steep. Probably cheaper to buy a ferry ticket and a spanner and sneak out under cover of darkness and 'aquire' one of your own.
