What are you driving down to the Le Mans Classic in?

[Phil5343]

As per the title, this will be the third Le Mans trip for us, and the second Classic. We were amazed the first year on the Classic by the amount of Classic cars, Super cars, Performance cars etc, it was like the worlds best rolling car show on the way down there. Even sat in the ferry queue at Dover was amazing.

So, i thought it would be good to see what everyone is driving down in this year.

We'll be driving down in this -

I'll be heading down in a 911, but much more interestingly in convoy with a colleague in a 1929 4 1/2 litre Bentley. We took it down to the last Classic too. It's such an impressive thing, will happily sit at 75/80mph. Get's an amazing reaction everywhere it went. Also took it on the parade lap, which even as a passenger, was truly a special experience. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures. We are on a Friday morning Eurotunnel, back on Sunday evening. Do say hello/wave if you see us.

Were you camping on Maison Blanche at the last Classic with the Bentley?

Nope, we camped off site in La Suze sur Sarthe. Clearly these old Bentleys are very common! I think there were half a dozen or so similar ones at the Classic with the Bentley drivers club. Great to see them still being used. Did you get a chance to get a good look round it? They are amazing cars. The couple of owners I spoke to were all true enthusiasts that were happy to show you round and answer any questions about their cars.

For the 2010 classic I took the Sierra....

But Ive not bothered putting it on the road this year, so I'll be taking my daily driver japcrap instead....its comfy and is a good mile muncher at least...

A motorhome...

Sure, the journey may be slower, but we get to see all sorts of things coming past us on the drives there and back.

Oh yes, and it has a fridge, shower, statellite TV, DVD player, double beds, etc., etc. Kind of makes up for the less interesting journeys.

1962 3.8 FHC E Type as the Elise will be staying at home.

Travelling with friends to include:

Lotus Europa
2 Lotus Elise
Maser GT
Merc SLK

And will be joined at the hotel by 2 other E Types, C Type, XK120, Cerbera and then the club parking with 18 - 20 odd Caterhams.

Should be another great weekend. No track laps this year, so a lie in and nice drive out for lunch Saturday and off for the event. Can't wait...

Taking the Exige....first time for me and really looking forward to seeing some cracking cars.

my drive there

[Camberwell]

Coming down with my boys in the old smoker, hopefully it won't go back on a RAC flatbed

[rdjohn]

Driving up in this to meet friends who are driving in Grid 6 and need a bed for Saturday night.

Practical rather than inspirational!

Quattro and SD1



We were taking the Testarossa, complete with paddock parking, track laps and a drive down into Italy afterwards... but some doylem (me) sold it a few weeks ago!

So the Z4 it is. At least it's topless for the Alps and the Riviera
