The Mission


The Peking to Paris Rally is a recreation of the 1907 challenge issued by Le Matin, "Is there anyone who will undertake to travel this summer from Peking to Paris by automobile?"
The 2016 version will follow a route of 13,695 Km (8,510 miles) and take 35 days. We are travelling in Rhubarb and Custard, a 1936 Buick. We know nothing about cars or rallying.

Six cars arrived in Ulaan Bataar on flat bed trucks and the Volvo Amazon rolled over in the desert and has a stoved in roof and missing rear window. They are still in 6th place!
