CLASSIC LE MANS, what you driving?

[Harveybw1984]

I'm taking this ropey/lovely old thing.....if I can stop the car alarm going off and get it started!! My bro is taking his classic mini.
We'll be camping in yellow somewhere near the Porsche curves, stop by for a beer or five.

[LiamM123]

Heading down on Thursday morning in a 4 car convoy. My Mini, my Dads, S3 E-Type and 220SE Merc and his mates 80's 280SL. I'm not convinced we'll all make it though...

Great car and colour.

I take it that son is coming along to make sure you look after his inheritance!

Heading out Fri night Portsmouth Caen to meet up with TR4, TR6, 996, Valiant Charger (newly restored-very exciting), Bentley and a variety of others. Slumming it in a Chateau down in Langeais for a few days after...

[davidgt4]

The Valiant Charger- some final finishing touches due but on target (hopefully) for CLM.

Holy Mother - is there a special parking for special cars?

Was supposed to go in 2012 but abandoned due to gearbox issues, then again in 2014 abandoned due to respray not finished in time. This time it's going even if I have to push it!

A quote for the sheer beauty and rarity of this gorgeous GK.

Some great cars in this thread. First time as just punters for us, we were there in 2004 but my dad was competing.

Two silver ACs for us, one painted, one bare ally. The cobra is an AC MKIV with Mathwall engine and Jericho dog box. The flywheel is way too light so please excuse all the bunny hopping if you see us trying to go slow!

The bare ally Ace Bristol has winning race history from Goodwood (1960 and 2014) and will (hopefully) have a windscreen for the journey.

Most excellent, enjoy!

First time and taking this ol' thing.

That's a Mexico isn't it? Nice

yes, 1968 4.2 Mexico, with a very typical Italian thirst.

Absolutely wonderful and very special indeed.

There's not even Maserati parking for Maseratis unless you're a French Maserati Owners Club member sadly. May try and sneak in to their compound otherwise we'll just park where we can.

Good luck with that. Two years ago, with the Car Club pass with the make and reg number stuck in the window, the guy on the gate didn't believe the Vixen was a TVR and wasn't for letting it in. My son told him to walk round the car and look at the badges which he did and relented. No problems the days before and after.

[Konrod]

After 15years in TVRs, this year it's a 998 Mini. It means I can go with my 19 year old son (we own this between us) and share the driving i.e. he drives after lunch . It's the nearest to a classic I can get him insured on.........

Same as us, TVR last time and now in minis, should be a hoot!

Some fantastic cars in this thread so far!

I'm Thursday morning unfortunately...on the Tunnel. Hopefully things will be better than the carnage it's sounded like over the last week around Calais!

Hi John, we're on the 07:20 tunnel crossing, it's the second time for us and travelling down with another pair, we're both in TVRs. You're more than welcome to convoy with us if you'd like, I've planned a route with a mixture of Autoroute & D roads to see some countryside etc.

Picture taken by Del at Blyton Park- great little track.

Taking my Lotus Elise, this one or one in Titanium.

Fantastic event. 3 full days of cars, cars and cars...
