Dear All
I have just been notified of the largest Microcar Rally in Europe being organised in Switzerland. This will be the 11th running of this event which is only ever held every 4 years. That means it has been running since 1974, and if you miss this one the next will be in 2022.
It is the largest rally by having a limit of 150 cars, all of the others have a limit of 100 cars. I have seen the list of those people who have already registered and it amounts to 70 people. The list contains all of the great and the good from Germany, Austria, Netherlands and France, as well as the Swiss.
The Organiser, Bernard Taeschler, would like there to be some good English Microcars, as they are not very well represented in past years. They would love to see a Peel, or a Gordon, or a Bond Minicar, or a Frisky, or a Powerdrive, or a Scootacar, or a Berkeley, or a Nobel, or all of them.
The event is held on the last weekend in April, which does not clash with any other international event, and whilst the weather may not be scorching hot, will be spring time with all the spring flowers in full bloom. An ideal time for an early holiday.
If you would like more information on the event go to wwww.microcars.ch. All of the information and instructions are in good English, also there is a video, forward to 11 minutes to see some of the people and cars from the 2014 event and spot how many people you recognise.
