Popped into a mate today and he had just re-found a couple of brochure things from the disastrous 1957 Le Mans race day which his father had been to.
There is a magazine called AAT and 'tableau de pointage'.
They are not mint and I have no idea of value, but we guess these things are rare. He would rather send them to a museum or something.
So any suggestions where a good home may be?
Or are they 10 a penny?
Cheers

Why was it "disastrous"? Are you thinking of 1955?

'57 was a splendidly dominated race for Jaguar with the sublime D-Type.

There is an excellent Museum of the 24 hours, at Le Mans: https://www.lemans-musee24h.com/
Turn left just inside the main entrance.

You never know, you might get free tickets if your friend donated the journals!

Yes, was thinking of 1955, disaster wise!
That said, the 1957 listing is quite cool!
Moss and Hawthorne are there,
I'll pass on the possibility of free tickets.
Cheers
