Hello Ian, I know this is in the infancy stage for planning but how about a rally for the 200's with guests being 300's and 700's, ie the old RWD models, with plaques going to the 200 cars and under the banner of the 200 series. Just a suggestion, and if you would rather not then so be it, you shall be the commandant!!! Hahaha, well I've talked this through with a few friends and they seem very positive about this, with ideas of turning a 240 into a camper, ie chopping the roof off and grafting a caravan on the back .

I would be quite interested in this, especially if it were to Le Mans. My Mum lives not too far from there, so I could visit her as well.

Cheers,

Hi Gavin

Anyone interested is welcome as far as Im concerned!

I'm still keen on Monte Carlo - but lets see what other responses there are.

Regards
Ian

Hi Andi

I like your thinking there!

Right everyone, how is this for a provisional plan?:

240 Rally to Le Mans 2007
Other RWD;s welcome
Meet at campsite
Rally plaques
Award for furthest travelled, best modified, oldest etc

So far the following have expressed an interest and on the basis that a few more join then this could well be a goer!

Velorum2003 (!)
Steve Curtis
tuning redblock
Cornholio
James N

I will need to start investigating camping arrangements etc. Info from those that have camped there would be useful. Ideas re dates and any of the things from the list above also please! (And anything else that you can think of)

Ian

Thank you! Rory is well behaved in the company of 200s and is very fond of TULIP.

Thanks Simon - however, the consensus favours Le Mans to coincide with the 24hr race. Still interested?
