Här är det preliminära programmet för 50-årsjubileet.
Hi Guys, Just a quick re-post of the Lands End to John O'Groats rally to celebarte our 50th Anniversary of the 1100/1300. The journey will take place over 6 days starting at Lands End and finally finishing at the 1100 National Rally in Gaydon, Warickshire. The journey will involve travelling approximately 1600 miles (Yes thats right One Thousand and Six Hundred miles!). The Journey hopes to provide something for everyone involving sites where the car was produced and some sightseeing at the same time. Not wanting to state the obvious, but the tour will be both enjoyable and demanding on you and your car therefore I strongly recommend that you are both in good health, your car is in good/excellent mechanical order and that you have full insurance and comprehensive breakdown cover for your vehicle.
