The Princess Rally<br />
12th edition at an alluring speed!<br />
Six days of intense driving and the 1600 km<br />
between Paris and Monaco did not manage<br />
to dampen the good humour and enthusiasm<br />
of the 65 ladies’ teams taking part in the rally.<br />
The sun shone for this 13th edition of the<br />
rally which took place in a spirit of friendliness,<br />
and not without a touch of glamour.<br />
The gleaming cars, and their charming and gracious<br />
drivers and co-drivers, left the Invalides<br />
on 27th May, and paraded down the Parisian<br />
avenues before taking to the open road. Once<br />
again this year, the motorised carriages measured<br />
up admirably to the ladies themselves, as<br />
amongst them were to be found a 200 series<br />
straight from Peugeot Museum, a 1957 AC<br />
Bristol Bex 344, a superb 1957 BMW 507 coupé,<br />
Mercedes Pagodas, a 1965 MG B, an AC Cobra<br />
Hawk of the same year, three E-type Jaguars<br />
from the late sixties, and also an Oldsmobile<br />
Cutlass Supreme cab. To this list can be added<br />
six Morgans, Maranello Ferraris, Boxter
