That looks great fun, brings back memories. Provided the plates between the flitch plates and chassis are fitted its surprising how hot it gets in a Seven. We have 2 cars with them and one without and there is a big difference.

Cabin heating level is greater now with the four blade fan. I'm actually thinking of bunging up the gaps between the gearbox and the floor to keep it out!

Thanks Ruairidh,

This video shows the climb up to the top of the "hill" at the Prés de la Dame on Mont Lozère. RD 362 from Génholac which then becomes the D 66 to Villefort.

A long, long slog uphill although the RP made it all the way to the top in 3rd gear.

The summit is at around 1470m above sea level. The following photo shows me & a few of the competitors with the snow clearing crew just after the summit:


Just waiting for decent weather so I can get the Karcher out & give the car a good spray underneath.

I know it's lovely and snowy in 'furrin parts' but it is Spring-like over here and a long way past Christmas and New Year. Perhaps the Management could consider taking down the Seasons Greetings and the decorations from the home page? Or are they just getting in early for the 2017 Festivities? Gawd forbid.

The organising club "Cèze-Auto-Retro" has published press reports on the event on its web page. It's in French but most of you can read pictures...
