A Porsche first went to Le Mans 60 years ago and to celebrate the anniversary the German firm has launched some Porsche Design Drivers Selection goodies.
All of the items feature the "Porsche Team Salzburg" colours that were used on the 1971 Porsche 917K racer driven by Hans Hermann and Richard Attwood at Le Mans.
There's an overnight bag for £125, wallet at £15, a mug that also costs £15 and a set of coasters for £40. Our favourite, though, is the model of the 917K itself that has a price tag of £40.
The model is a 1:43 scale version of the car Hermann and Attwood raced at an average of 138mph for a record 3,315 miles in 1971. This model also celebrates Porsche's links with the famous Martini livery on the 40th anniversary of the 917K's Le Mans victory.
For a more relaxed way to mark the occasion, there's also a beach towel as part of the new Porsche selection that costs £45, or you could choose a beach ball for £39. All are available from your nearest Porsche dealer.
