Paris Amsterdam 2018

The History of Classic Rallying, 25-28 April 2018

 

"One hundred and twenty years after the original Paris-Amsterdam rally, the KNAC (the Dutch RAC) organised a three-day event through Northern France, Belgium and Holland in which we (Hans Hugenholtz - Sandra Hermanns) participated with our 4 1/2 L Bentley RN3050, registered from the first day UC 2801.

 

We finished second in class, even after losing quite some time with a broken exhaust, which was temporarily repaired with two cut-up Coca Cola cans with plenty of wire.

 

Here are some photos from the event, starting at Chantilly Castle and finishing at the Haarzuilens Castle, still owned by the current Baron Van Zuylen van Nijevelt; his great grandfather Baron Etienne was one of the original organisers of the rally and was a founding partner in the Automobile Club de Francem and its first President in 1895."
