It was a long hard slog up the Alps, but we managed to stop for a rest next to a pub…

Re: Turin and Back 2016
The lengths Shaun and Chris have gone to organising this trip is amazing. Note the commemorative plaque that Shaun had produced. The Swiss Club also provided some commemerative chocolate. Unfortunately I left mine behind
104/2142 is BEA 693C, the C-V8 II that became the C-V8 III prototype and was then driven to Turin and became the first Interceptor.
I have been driving Polly Walton's car (see car of the month in half an hour or so), I missed my FF when Felix came flying past us in the pouring rain when I was taking it steady but am really enjoying being Polly's chaufeur.
