Used item not played with
This was used in the Audi Pit stop , in the first two photos you can see the front and back of the pit board
Please note before you bid / buy the Lego man and any backgrounds you see are not included its just to give an idea of scale and a bit of fun.For those not in the know the standard Lego man in his helmet stands 4cm tall or 1 and 12/16 of an inch
In 2002 Audi won le mans .To celebrate this a magazine part work was issued in France that enabled you to buy the parts to construct a replica of the Audi pit , the magazine came in 40 parts and with each magazine a blister pack containing parts
These came as part of a blister pack
The model was
made for collectors and is a collectors model not for children
I first came across this in Paris as a display in an Audi window along with Audi model cars and then later came across items being sold on ebay which I bought so that I might have obtain the set
The first two photos are of the item you could buy , The other photos are to aid and help fellow enthusiasts second being of a pit constructed ( not by me ) and the third is of the first issue of the magazine
The study of the various constructions of the le
mans pits over the years has been interesting , for me the best spectator pits
were the previous old pits where you could sit on the balcony ledge and watch
the pit action ( with the Gendarme blowing his whistle at those smoking above )
a true action view and happy times for me -for images of the old pits look at historicspeed.com
Thank you for looking if you buy this item it will help fund my e bay
habit and Le Mans obsession

wonder if Solido headlamps would work as the casting seems similar but without
the blue tinge
