ABOUT
A daring recreation of a milestone in motoring history, retracing the exact route of the original 1907 Peking to Paris trial for the first time in almost 100 years.
In March 1907, the Parisian newspaper Le Matin offered the world a challenge - 'Will anyone agree to go this summer from Peking to Paris by motorcar?' Prior to this time, the car was still a novelty, an expensive toy for a wealthy elite - hardly a dependable form of transport. the 14000km challenge was ultimately taken up by drivers of four different makes of automobile. There were to be no rules, no maps and for that matter, no roads for much of the route.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images and illustrations, maps and end papers.
