Thought some here might be interested in this. A book called 'Adventurer's Road', published 51 years ago to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1907 reliability trial from Pekin - Paris.
First part covering Pekin - Paris is up...
Teriffic stuff, read it maybe 30 years ago, inspired the film "The Great Race" though with a healthy dose of Wacky Races mixed in!
NHH
