Transporting my Ferrari to France and back.

[2500julian]

Hi, I have a 488 Spider and my buddy has a Cali T. We drove them down through France last summer and back up through Lake Como and onto Calais. Great fun, but I ended up putting 3,000 miles on the car, maybe more.

Is there a cost effective way to transport the cars from London down to the French/Swiss border and then collect and return them a week later? I like the tunnels and driving around Lake Como, but less keen on the laborious motorways.

Or is there a great route to drive from Calais down to Lake Como that isn’t just French motorways?

Thanks

Thanks for all the tips. It looks like the auto trains are declining and I wouldn’t want to scrape a wheel. I’m now thinking of heading over to Stuttgart and then heading down to Lucerne thorough the Back Forest. Then a couple of Swiss passes and onto Tremezzo where we hang out for a few nights before heading back. Just have to find a decent route back now.

I did a 16 day euro tour last year in my Speciale.. One thing to note is I did Stuttgart and would not do it again on a road trip.. Many nicer places to visit.

Thanks for the tip. I was thinking of stopping overnight at Baden Baden and then heading South. I’ll bet the Speciale sounded amazing through those tunnels. I’m hoping to get one in a couple of years.

Thanks for the tips. We drove the Route Napoleon last summer and really enjoyed it. Didn’t like Monaco as they sat nav kept losing signal in the tunnels. We then took the motorways all the way to Como which was boring. Have the tag for the tolls which is always really useful.
