Hannover – July 23rd 2011
We drove 140 km through the countryside around Hannover to get familiar with this brutal engine. The 4 seasons have been experienced by the team today on the road: strong wind, sun, rain. The team has mostly been busy with taking off the Porsche 356 roof and put it back… Beside that, collecting stamps at every checkpoints have been the trickiest part of the prologue, including getting lost looking for it !
Then team was really astonished by the warm welcome given by the locals standing along the road across the different villages.
All the participants were delighted by the presentation of the Healey collection during the dinner. To be continued…
