After 30 years of hoarding interesting and collectible postcards and photographs, I am reluctantly selling many of them at below book prices (Picture Postcard Values 40th Edition). I have decided that the best way to do that is on buy it now listings with free postage. If you are seriously interested in this card you can buy it straight away, which is recommended to save disappointment, or ‘Watch It’ and I may offer you a discount.

Vintage Real Photo Postcard - Start of the 1962 Le Mans 24 Hour Motor Race - officially stamped (1963) and posted at Le Mans

In excellent condition

The 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans was a motor race for Experimental cars and Grand Touring cars, staged at the Circuit de la Sarthe, Le Mans, France on 23 and 24 June 1962.

It was the 30th Grand Prix of Endurance and the eighth round of the 1962 International Championship of Manufacturers.

The race was won by Olivier Gendebien and Phil Hill driving a Ferrari 330 TRI/LM.

The 24 Hours of Le Mans (French: 24 Heures du Mans) is an endurance-focused sports car race held annually near the town of Le Mans, France. It is widely considered to be one of the world's most prestigious races, and is one of the races—along with the Monaco Grand Prix and Indianapolis 500—that form the Triple Crown of Motorsport, and is also one of the races alongside the 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring that make up the informal Triple Crown of endurance racing.

Run since 1923, it is the oldest active endurance racing event in the world.
