We always went across from Newhaven to Dieppe it was a 3 or 4 hour crossing which actually was enjoyable and all part of the break, then round Rouen and Allencon and on to Le Mans, There were a few Lambos and Gt40's on our crossing to be honest it was nearly all classic cars getting on and off the ferry with special ramps for the really low cars, That Kouros Mercedes was a very special car to me as I knew Mike Thackwell and most of his family back in the the 80's and early 90's he drove the 61 car That 5 litre twin Turbo V8 had some serious grunt, I also met Hans Stuck down there in 88 had a chat about PDK gearboxes and the 962c works cars he was a top works Porsche Group C driver in his day, My mate even got some pictures of us enjoying a pint and chatting with him. Funnily enough I have just found some videos from Le Mans 84,85,86,87& 88 all VHS of course I cant bring myself to bin them!
