In September 1997 100 classic cars start near the Chinese Wall for a Rallye of 43 days that crosses 13 countries, from peking to Paris. One of them the Dutch Citroën 2CV. A long and bad road, if you could call them a road, camping in the Himalayas at a height of 5.000 metres, carrepair in the middle of the day in the heat of the desert. But also beautiful surroundings: the always snowy white roof of the world, uncrossable wild rivers, gorgeous gorges, hot sand deserts, fascinating eastern cities.

The book tells the story in writing and pictures of the Dutch equipe no.43 with the 1958 2CV that challenges Aston Martins, Bugatti's and Bentleys.

Drawings in comic style and photos of 2CV's in France. By Christof Schelbert, who made nice drawings that appeared in club magazines for many years.
