Hi everyone,

I’m hiking in France right now,  and as I walked through Le Puy yesterday (Sept. 13th) four or five Healeys drove through together- I remember a couple of red and black 100/6’s or Mk1 300’s and a Healey blue 100…left hand drive cars. I wondered if someone on the list was on a tour?
Of course, they could have been French cars, but it’s quite rare to see vintage cars on the road here.

Correction, July. Not June. Can't decipher my own diary.
Incidentally, Le Mans Classic is an annual event from now on so next one is '26. Easy for me...2.5 hours to English ferry port here (Poole). 3.5 hours from French ferry port (Cherbourg) to Le Mans. May be a trifle trickier for some of you guys!
