On top of the Grand St. Bernard, 2473 m above sea level- snow ball fight included.

The true Jensen spirit, only 6 cars made it, the others took the tunnel :shock:

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

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 :oops:

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.
