Peking to Paris Official BookMan and machine against the elements, driving where no car had gone before... That was the impossible challenge of 1907 when a handful of buccaneering madcap motorists took up the idea of a Paris newspaper to prove that the car could now go anywhere, by driving the longest distance between two capital cities on one continent, from Peking to Paris. To mark the 100th anniversary of the original 'Great Race', over 100 cars set out to drive the original route of 1907. Aston Workshop owner Bob Fountain decided to give himself and his restoration team at Aston Workshop the ultimate challenge of fully restoring his 1934 Lagonda M45 for the race in the space of just 6 months! Not only was this a test of everyone's skill and dedication to building the finest restorations, but it was clearly going to be quite a risky venture in terms of the company's reputation. Can anyone really expect to fully restore a 1934 classic in just 6 months and then compete in such a grueling test within days of completion? Find out just how Bob and the other drivers faired in this amazing and inspirational journey through the Peking to Paris Great Race.
