In June I plan to do it in my Lagonda which I inherited from my father. Would you recommend autoroute or Route Nationale and have you an tips I plan to do miles per day the trip is one way and chug at a steady 40 - 50 mph.
The car needs some serious fettling although the engine and box seem fine. If you have done similar trips in a vintage car I would love to hear of your suggestions in terms of route, Train, Ferry, stop overs Many thanks. RW 1, posts months.
I have no experience of doing this kind of trip personally, but I have prepared pre war cars for some gruelling rally work. Paris to Peking, le Jog, Monte etc. I would strongly suggest you look at the cooling system in depth first. L O would not register on the gauge but is likely to cause the block to crack. The honeycombe core is far more efficient for long journeys with a greater surface area than the film type core. Bear in mind the oil feed to the bottom end also.
With so many large tolerances a hot engine will run a very low oil pressure and the heat will break down the oil. I remember a Mk6 Bentley being run solely on wynns engine oil addititve.
