Bollee, of course, digs out his old photos of these great winners, but even better are those we have forgotten all about. There was Jochen Mass in the Cologne Capri in 1972, the Ligier JS2-Maserati in 1973, the typically British deCadenet of Chris Craft and John Nicholson in 1974, and that long line of Ferrari 365GTBs in the GTS category over a number of years. There were a number of memo- rable races in those years. I witnessed Jacky Ickx in 1977 retiring his Porsche 936 and then joining Hayward and Barth in the second car to nurse the increasingly smoky Stuttgart machine to an unlikely win. It was Ickx at his best, especially during the long, wet night. Bollee\u2019s 110 pages have captured the essence of Le Mans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Available from: Michel Bollee, 26 Rue des Ecoles, 61430 Athis se l\u2019Orme, France for <strong>40 Euros<\/strong> plus postage.
