The last destination on the tour will be the Musée de l’Automobile de Lorraine (http://www.
musee-automobile-lorraine.fr/). The cars here are presented in chronological order beginning with a De Dion Bouton and a couple of rare Donnets from the 1920s. French makes are strongly represented but there are also several interesting American cars, such as a 1935 REO Flying Cloud Six Doctor's Coupé. Post-war there are a good range of European sports cars as well as family saloons and an exceptional selection of Porsches. Many cars belong to members of the association which has run the museum since it opened in 1970.
The cost will be £1,438 per car and room with two people sharing or £1,158 per person in a single room. A non-refundable deposit of 20 per cent of the package cost per booking is required, but no further payments will be needed until 10 weeks prior to departure. The price will not increase once a deposit has been paid irrespective of what ‘Brexit’ does to sterling!
This price includes 10 days and nine nights in
three and four-star hotels, Channel crossings with P&O Dover-Calais, a BTM rally plate, a 24-hour
