A 1927 AC has been entered for the Peking-Paris endurance event!
This is one hell of a motoring challenge, for the cars and the drivers. The route is more than 8500 miles, over an itinerary of 36 days, and the cars journey through China, Mongolia, Russia, Belarus, then into Europe through Poland, Hungary, Italy and Switzerland (and more) to end in Paris. You can imagine the state of many roads, let alone crossing desert and so on.
The car is the 1927 AC saloon, with Weymann body, that was recently returned to the UK from South Africa (see photos in Vintage forum, under recent posting ‘Two vintage AC’s come home’). Steve Gray of Brooklands Cars has entered and I admire his courage and spirit! The event takes place June/July of next year so more to follow.....
