Hi
I am going to book for Spa Classic and I prefer the train , rather than the ferry.
Has anyone taken their Tuscan on Eurotunnel.
Can you get it on?

ground clearance etc.

Thanks

David

Hi David.We went to Spa a few years back in our T350c a griff,and a Tuscan S.
No problems,Only make sure your hand brake is working ok,as it a really weird sight to see your car moving forward and not realizing the train is braking.If in doubt take a couple blocks of wood to chock your wheels.

Many thanks now booked tunnel and hotels etc. Very excited.
My handbrake is poor to say the least so yes I will give it some attention.
Thanks

Been on the tunnel several times with my '04 Tuscan.

Approach ramp at an angle...so you enter train one wheel at a time.
In most cases, the Tunnel staff direct you to the lower deck in small ground clearance cars..but I always gesticulate/speak to say put me on the bottom deck - and they're fine with that.

Take a book, eat your sandwich and before you know it you'll be driving off in France.

As above, I've always been directed to the lower deck.
Used the tunnel at least 50 times in various TVR's including two Tuscans.
