Starting location was the beautiful estate of the Institute of Philosophy in Leusden, Netherlands
Here Henko Landheer's gorgeous Mini Marcos Mk4

"I haven't driven it very fast yet - I wouldn't dare", said Raymond van der Klugt about his great GTM Coupe with turbo and intercooler

Colourful display of derivatives during the lunch stop at Renswoude...

…Where Jeroen Klomp served lunch and showed his latest find: another Mini Marcos Mk4 body with TransXL style add-ons and rear spoiler…
Picture Jeroen Booij
…Plus TransXL style and very deep front spoiler, too. The body is for sale to a devoted enthusiast.
Ask Jeroen for a price by going here

Over to the finish location at the steam depot in Beekbergen. A steamy and noisy affair, but very photogenic. That's Raymond GTM again

I was just ready to make a photograph of Keith Rose's GTM Rossa when this thing came along. I say!

It was bloody slow, too, but I took my time and shot this when it had chitty-chitty-banged away

This Midas in Gulf livery is owned by Hans Joachim Lenzen, who drove it over from Cologne. I think the Gulf livery suits it pretty well

The Four Tops: Frank Morskate's great Le Mans replica; Jouke Boeren's Mk3; Ed 'The Hat' Darwinkel's Midas Gold and Richard Porter Mini Jem Mk2

But for me this was the car of the day. Another Mk4 Mini Marcos, beautifully restored in Germany. The car is owned by Hans Joachim Lenzen; his wife Kerstin drove it
Picture Jeroen Booij
The car's interior, too, was splendid in its simplicity. Hans Joachim made a lot of work of keeping it that way, despite several modernizations hidden under the dash
Picture Jeroen Booij
The big Weber, with ultra short intake manifold, hints at serious power. And indeed, this 1310cc engine is said to deliver over 140bhp. it was built by Hans Müller-Deck (more here)

The eye for detail is eye-catching and these Japan-sourced mirrors are just an example. They are adjustable from the inside, too
Picture Jeroen Booij
1970s shade of green suits it particularly well and original Cooper 'S' wheels are another groovy detail, making this car stand out from the rest - I believe
