I think it is great that Darrell and crew made it to Le Mans and
managed to reunite the Lister Tiger with Peter Proctor.
What a chance of a lifetime! Think about it - the inagural event with
over 300 cars participating. It is great
that Sunbeam was represented by 2 Lister-Tigers and an Alpine.
I have to give Darrell credit for organizing such an effort. This has
been my first year at vintage racing
and all I can say is it is extreamly difficult to organize and plan
even just to go to Lime Rock which is only an hour away for me.
Imagine going to Europe. Toss in the added factor of breaking in a
30+ year old car from a restoration.
Personally, I would be grinning ear to ear regardless and my hats off
to Darrell for pulling this off, great job!
I sincerely hope he had a terrific time and my only regret is that I
wasn't there!
