Amazing lost film footage tells the secrets of Ford's LeMans program, with special focus on the 427 FE LeMans engine. Fascinating 1960s dyno technology on display, not to be missed. The condition of this rare old film is horrible but the content is A plus.

Quality was no problem, really...

A good look at the way they did the job in the sixties.

Why do so many people - and I must reluctantly cite our friends from The Land Of The Free as the worst offenders  - take it upon themselves to eliminate the space between the e of Le and the M of Mans. It's Le Mans. It's not LeMans.

 

Below are the official logos of the 24 hour race and the town of Le Mans.

Right... deselect rant mode.

Perhaps the race organizers and the town are unaware that they are using the upper and lower cases improperly, each in a different way. They would probably appreciate a pedant informing them of their atrocities.

I've not quoted your post in order to give you an opportunity to delete it.

Thank you, Jack-The-Lad. Pedant, eh? I think you've been talking to my wife.   ;)  Whatever... I appreciate the compliment.  :up:

 

Thing is, there's spelling and there's graphic interpretation. In both cases shown above, Le Mans is two words. That's the point.

 

BTW, that should be your post, not you post.  :wave:

Of course, if one really wanted to be pedantic, one could call it 'Visa au Mans'. :smoking:
