I was wondering if anyone knows where one could find the yellow-ish racing jackets that the drivers would wear. 1970's era. Thanks.

Thomas, you want me dead!!!!

Factory jackets are hard to find. Lorenzo, would you post an image of the amazing rally jacket you have? I believe most jackets were burgundy. The yellow ones were made by Cibie.

To find one, you should check regularly on Ebay or visit the Essen Techno Clasica where Edmond Harris was selling some last year.

A Cibie Team Racing jacket,
with Neile McQueen's name embroidered.

"This is my original racing jacket from the set of 'Le Mans' in France during the summer of 1970. Solar Productions' crewmembers were given and wore identical jackets, and everyone’s had their name on it. It was a terrible time, our marriage was unraveling, and the movie had a lot of challenges. But I kept this jacket all this time – its hard to believe its nearly 40 years old and in great condition."

I don't know if you collect everything but there are 2 versions of the napkin set. The difference is in the color of one napkin. I have no idea why they changed that.

Thanks Richard, it's never ending...and the plates apparently exist in 3 different versions

[preS]

the plates, 3x 6 in total? Or is it like 6 + 2 different one's?

A complete set is composed of 6 small plates and 1 large one. 3 editions were made in the early Sixties:

A. First edition has "1960" written on the license plates and a double line on the rims (black and red), the logo on the reverse is "black":



B. Second edition has "1960" written on the license plates and a single line on the rims (red), the logo on the reverse is "green":





C. Third edition has "1962" written on the license plates, the logo on the reverse is "blue":






Table sets and napkins seem to have been made only for the later sets (1962), they came in a very nice box and were originally folded in a particular way (wasn't aware 2 sets existed):
