How do you prove that they are genuine, A letter of aunthenticity from the city council might be difficult to obtain.

**Aysedasi** · 24 Jan 2010, 12:37 (Ref:2618536)

Exactly.....

The Badger · 24 Jan 2010, 15:52 (Ref:2618622)

Im keeping my eye on them , just for interest . Bet they dont sell for that price , or someone could have more money than sense .

Wonder might that person get a visit from the cops ?

one of those i'd like .. just a bit too big to carry home in my backpack

I will be selling off some of my '99-'02 L-M memorablia shortly.

No road signs but souveneir and official ACO t-shirts and Dunlop coverals issued to me when I marshalled there those years.

PM for details.

**Aysedasi** · 24 Jan 2010, 20:25 (Ref:2618764)

PM sent.

AstonGeoff · 25 Jan 2010, 13:14 (Ref:2619102)

Well, those signs either have to be fakes or they are stolen, can't believe the local LM Council would have given/sold them to a Brit!

A quick look on the web shows that "commercial" grade alluminium signs of a larger size than that can be bought for about £150 each, so it shouldn't be too hard to find someone to make a pair.

**Aysedasi** · 25 Jan 2010, 18:54 (Ref:2619306)

The plot thickens........

YOU'LL STRUGGLE TO FIND ANOTHER GENUINE SET. ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.

I know of a small town in central France where I may be able to find some. Do I want to is another question.....

**Aysedasi** · 27 Jan 2010, 06:14 (Ref:2620122)

I think Grant was right though - you might be able to source some, with difficulty, but making a set wouldn't be that hard, surely? And of course we're assuming these are genuine, with no provenance of any kind....

GT6 · 27 Jan 2010, 08:26 (Ref:2620170)

But the big question is why, what the hell are you going to do with them, not exactly the sort of things you put up in the living room and investing large sums of money for them and then putting them on the garage wall? I would prefer some decent posters.

AstonGeoff · 27 Jan 2010, 13:04 (Ref:2620319)

Not that I would bother with them but I can think of many better things to do with £1070!

**Aysedasi** · 27 Jan 2010, 21:19 (Ref:2620596)

If they were genuine, and I could pick them up for a few quid, I'd happily have them on my study wall......

GT6 · 28 Jan 2010, 08:39 (Ref:2620836)

Surely by now your study wall must be covered in much more interesting prints/posters, these signs are not exactly interesting/detailed or even nice to look at, give me framed poster from the group c era anyday

Surprisingly not. I have a framed Sunday Times magazine front cover depicting Ayrton Senna* plus an original large oil painting of a scene depicting a Formula Ford race at Brands hatch. The picture also includes myself and my late father in it plus the MGB I owned in the 80s. My father painted it.....

(*I hope that a certain member here will remember giving this to me!).

You do surprise me I would have expected your study to be full of Le Mans stuff, I think you should put at least a full sized framed poster down on your christmas list. Perhaps one with a nice jag from the group C era.

**Aysedasi** · 30 Jan 2010, 13:01 (Ref:2622242)

I do have quite a large framed aerial photo of the start of the 1998 Le Mans race. I bought it at the circuit that year and had it framed ready to go on the wall of my office when I was promoted as I had been promised..... The fact that it's still in my study tells the story.....

If they were original , I might be persuaded to part with a ton ..... but a grand , no chance in hell .

But on saying that , a grand is pitence to some too , if your bank account is bursting at the seams !!!

Anyway Ayse , you got a nice memory there ..... promotion isnt always a nice thing either .

It could be the first piece in that life size re-creation of La Sarthe that I am planning - starting in Kent...

The Ebay seller is at it again....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-Le-Man...item3ca979da2e

Either he has useful connections or he's just getting the things made up. Either way - this one's up for a mere fraction of the other one - just £980 this time!

Oh, looking further, he's been out and about at Mulsanne too.....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-French...item3ca979dcb8

£850. Must be Mulsanne discount week.....

And it goes on..... Arnage

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-Arnage...item3ca979d85d

£850.

But he does have a lot of automobilia which looks as thought it would surely have to be genuine?

GT6 · 12 Feb 2010, 08:44 (Ref:2632006)

I know some people collect strange things but french road signs, that must put them up there with stamp collectors

Tim the Grey · 16 Feb 2010, 12:28 (Ref:2634330)

When I lived in Rugby, the local council had special rugby ball shaped signs put up... The visiting Kiwis, Oz, etc had them away pretty damn quick!
