I think that it the sporting time piece category it is one of the most important but compared to icons like the clock in the tower of westminster (big ben) or others in major historic buildings it may have to accept a lower position. but I think it is a major item of motor racing history

Can't disagree with that .
But if one had 2-3 Le Mans cars already, what better theme piece than the clock itself

Very interesting indeed.

I was pleased with myself over the last few days, I've picked up three more Informations Presse (or Info Presse) - the Le Mans media guides for 1986 (my first Le Mans), 1996 and 1998.

So I now have them for

1986
1990
1996
1997
and

2001 - 2010

I stand to be corrected, but according to my Radio Le Mans 'source', 2010 was the last book issue as they started using electronic media sticks in 2011.....

Nice collection Ayse.

I just calmed my itchy Le Mans purchase finger by picking up one of these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-93...ht_2474wt_1271

Might just be the best thing I've ever bought!

Still looking for an elusive English language '93 annual at a semi-reasonable price.

Spark is my favorite when it comes to quality at a reasonable price. I hope you don't have the sickness? Before you know it you have more than you have space for.

I try to stick with 1/43rd scale but 1/18th is great too. Lovely choice!

Got a few 1/43s but when I saw this I had to snap it up. I stop every time I walk past it!

I'm going to try and limit myself a bit. Plan to snap up Spark versions of the winning cars for each year I was there. So right now it's a collection of one. Will pick up my second in the village next year.

The best place to get the Le Mans yearbooks is in the boutique next to the museum in Le Mans! Not very useful if you live in England but they stock everything and the prices are cheaper than anyone online. If you are an ACO member you even get another discount. I can't remember if their stock goes back as far as 1993 but it wouldn't surprise me, they had loads in both French and English versions when I went in this June to pick up last years annual. If your French is up to it, you could always give them a ring as their online shop doesn't reflect their stock at all.

If you can't wait until next year to have a look, this bloke on EBay sells all of the yearbooks. Strangely, he doesn't seem to have many English versions at the moment, he had all of them when I looked earlier this year. You could always contact him.
