I decided a Baja Beetle would be the best car for the job. Should be able to cope with the roughest terrain and has a lot of character. This is Pedro, the 1966 Baja I’ve bought for the journey. He’s rust free, has a 1776cc engine and seems pretty well set up for off-roading.

NB: Stephen from charity rallies bought my Mini and intends to drive it to the Pyramids!

Any offers of help/parts gratefully received.
