Vi har väl alla hört om (TwinAir) Fiat Pandan som kördes mellan Kapstaden och London, men hur var det? Var det en vanlig Panda eller en 4x4? Hur var den preparerad, eller var den inte preparerad alls?

Anm: 10 000 miles är ungefär 1600 svenska mil.
Och här finns en (senare) bild utav männen som 1933 startade traditionen med en Morris 8 på just 900cc!!!
16/11/13 In 1976, television producer Barry Cockroft made a documentary about the Gilg and Kay Liverpool to Cape Town expedition for Yorkshire TV.
During the making of the documentary, Gilg and Kay were reunited for the first time since 1933.
The programme shows the pair meeting at Gilg's country home and motoring in this 1933 Minor tourer - an identical model to that used
in the expedition. It also includes many fascinating 16 mm cine film clips from the expedition.
The programme, titled 'Turn Left - the Riffs have Risen', was shown twice on ITV as part of the 'Once in a Lifetime' series.
We showed the programme at our Summer Rally this year in the Clubhouse at Prescott where it captivated the audience.
We are delighted to announce that the Register can now offer DVD copies of this historic documentary
for £20 including worldwide postage. Please contact the Register if you would like a copy.
