Cars on the water….

March 10, 2020 //  by Neil Donnan//  4 Comments

After all the frantic preparation to get our cars ready for our Trans-African adventure, they are finally on their way.

The containers with our precious cargo are onboard the MSC Sofia Celeste, which sounds more romantic than it looks!

The continental cars left the Hook of Holland on the 9th March and spent the night circulating in the North Sea (no idea!) before entering the Thames to pick up the UK cars on the 10th March.

There will be periodic updates on the route down to Capetown where the cars are due to arrive on the 4th April, giving good time for Paul to check them over before the Rally.

Bon Voyage

      Neil, took the words right out of my mouth.
      I hope you know which container is yours – of course, the ones on the top are the first to go into the briny.

        We have everything crossed that we are somewhere in the middle. But it’ll be a relief to know they’ve all made it safely next month

Who are the GRO?

We are a non-profit making organisation created for people who relish a challenge and an interest in classic cars. Combining these two things allows our members to explore the world.
The charge for all rallies will be “at cost”, save for a pre-stated administration fee for organising the event and the shared cost of the service / medical crew. We are able to do this as we will also be participating in the adventure and the countries are ones we wish to visit.
