lions of dollars in antique
motor vehicles stopping

17.

‘part of the Soviet Union
_ and conquered China,

It’s being hailed as a
.millennium event and a
first of ils kind challenge.

Their journey to our city
on the North American leg
of the adventure began in
Anchorage, Alaska, after
their vehicles were airlif-
ted from China over the
north Pacific in a massive
Russian air freighter.

The: plan is to finish up
in London July 18.

This is no ordinary
motor chalienge, says John
Bellefleur, a Canadian
who is the organizer for
the North American por-
tion of the race.

“Tt costs. $85,000 (US)
ta enter and that doesn’t
include all of the
expenses,” he said during
a telephone interview from
Anchorage as the rally
prepared to depart.

The list of vehicles is
exotic and lengthy.

One couple is driving a

1913 Rolls. Royce Silver
Ghost, another a 1928
Bentley 4.5 litre Le Mans,

1959-1966 saloon cate-
gory; include a 1964 Alfa

The list includes two
Canadians, one from Tor-

The entry list for this venture was limited to
40 vehicles because that’s all that would fit in
the Russian aircraft hired to take them

across various oceans.

“Rach section. is

and the cumulative results
are used to dispense tro-
phies in various classes at
the end of the 80 days.

But approximately 125
vehicles set out from Lon-
don May 1 because there
were two other less com-
plicated tours — one from
London to Istanbul and the
other from London to Pek-

ing.

“There’s no money to
be won, just trophies,”
said Bellefleur. “These
