If you want it to see a blaze of glory and a relaxed chilled twilight, I can put word out on the Plymouth-Dakar email list, Calum?

We're taking a Saab

Too f**king right!! That is perfect! Much better for the old beast to go in a blaze of glory!

It only needs wishbone bushes for its next MOT (which will be due in a couple of months) so should be less than £100 to get it fully legal!

The other thing that would make it ideal is the Diesel gearbox we fitted to it (couldn't find a proper GTI one) that seems to have closer ratios.... ;-)

All the hydraulics are in tip-top nick so it should cope with the bumps no probs.

This would be a fitting final trip for "The Black Beast"

If it goes this year, no worries. One month today, I'll be sitting on the south coast of spain waiting for a ferry to Morocco.

Of course, there is always the "MOT? Tax? Que?" theory of car preparation....

True; the 2CV is a 1940s design, basically. I've always thought of the DS as being rare and expensive; I don't think I've seen more than a handful in the flesh.

Ah, well, I don't know much about American cars. They're on a different planet.

My Bentley R had mechanically assisted drum brakes in 1953.

I think Bentleys are always an exception :))
