Excellent.  The article also mentions that the Cunningham C4R will be at the Classic.

I don't know about mouthwatering...I think pant wetting might come into it. Incredible list, can't wait.

well, it is not exactly being restored in the UK. However, Robin Donovan, english Le Mans veteran, is to be one of the three drivers of the Charger at Le Mans Classic 2006.

You can see the latest photo of the car here: http://www.olympia-charger.com

They crashed a lot of cars filming this show. Replacing the police sedans was easy - replacing the old Dodge Chargers ("General Lee") was not as they weren't made anymore. It got to the point where producers would spot a Charger on the street and would approach the owner and offer to buy it on the spot.

Quote
There were a total of 309 "General Lee" cars (some of them were 1968 and 1970 model Dodges) created and mostly destroyed during the series. About 20, in various states of disrepair, still exist.

Got my confirmation from the ACO of my request for tickets, but not heard anything since.

How long ago did you sort yours out Steve? Was it though a ticket agency?
