I've driven this trip many times wife from there but always on the autoroute. 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.
It gave great oil pressure hot or cold and never did cause an issue. I know this would be an uneccessary expense but of all the additives, it would make sense to use it and keep the bottom end at the normal temperature as much as possible.
