    Where is this Motor car race course ? Possibly in Switzerland?

    Any motor fan, Grand Prix buffs? I think the K Ltd on other side dates the card to 1918-1936.

    If Switzerland their Grand Prix only began in mid 1930s, about 1934 but wbere would is it precisely? There is a distinctive tall building at right.

    The reason I think it may be Swiss is came from same source as cards in my other post photographer produced postcard. Lovely image I think you would agree.

    Thanks Plumpostcards

    That was my first though when I saw the tower in the background as well. I did not realize that there used to be a motor circuit there so did some digging on goggle and find the exact same shot.

    If you want to know why the circuit closed, just watch this video on You Tube. Scary stuff, the crowd just sitting on the banks no Health and Safety back then.

    Thanks for your help.

    I cannot find any postcards like these so I guess they are quite scarce.

    I think these were taken by an photographer/tourist and turned into postcards

    Cannot find any Crystal Palace Grand Prix postcards for sale from the 1930s. I have three images taken from the same event.

    Where would be a reasonable price point?

    These postcards are now up for running as a group of three details are in the adverstising part of this forum.

    I am selling them under the topics> transport> automobiles > formula1 section of my shop

    I think they are scarce automobile postcards

    Good luck in the auction!
