I arranged the ferry bookings for the cobra club to attend Le Classic this year and we travelled Newhaven - Dieppe for £40 return, car +2 people.
Spoke to all the various ferry companies and eurotunnel and none of them could beat Transmanche Ferries.
Also Dieppe is only 165 miles to Le mans.

Direct Line offer a good service as well, very similar to the AA, only cost an extra £32 for the 5 days we were at the classic. Hire car, hotel expenses, loss of money all included, so personal cover as well as the car.
We already have the full recovery, home start etc for the Jeep, but as a bonus they cover the cob on breakdown and recovery for £23.00 a year as a second vehicle, bonus.

Motors TV were present during the weekend so hopefully something will be shown soon.

60 cobras on the Newhaven - Dieppe ferry weds night, arriving MB about 11 am Thurs, advance party getting there weds.
All up about 80 - 100 cobs attending according to the latest figures.

Forget it guys its not worth it.
All I can say is I hope MB is clean and tidy when the Cobra club turn up in 2 weeks time

I used to be involved in the 2CV championship, and the 24hr races, although in my time they were at Mondello in Eire
If I can help with any info just shout.
I didnt race I just put the car together and looked after it during the season and the 24hrs.
Best team is 3/4 drivers, team manager, 2 good mechanics, and 4 or 5 others who know there way around the car, plus a couple of people to share the pit board duties, that way everyone can get a break etc and there are still enough to sort the car at pit stops. Oh and dont forget the guys doing the refuelling.
We used to do engine changes in 12mins from memory so 8 is very very good.

No worries mate, there will be about 60+ cobs at the classic, mostly blue with white stripes !!! but mine is dark green, no stripes and beige leather interior, if you spot it come and say hello. We will get to MB about mid morning thurs.

Didnt want to confuse the poor fella Steve, or sound flash, but yes mine are stainless too.
And its got a CHEVY as well 
You going to the Classic this year ??

How many are for spares!!

Another contingent of the Cobra Club are heading out of Newhaven weds night to arrive Le Mans mid morning Thurs, OH and there are 27 cobs booked on the ferry, so you will hear us before you see us, probably from Dieppe down !!!!
