There is this for rent

But not a single TVR in the whole of the UK.

I really want to do the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! crew. It would be feasible to accomplish, but $1100 for flights $1100 for the rally plus rental and fuel and such beyond that. Plus using all my vacation time. It would be well worth the experience...

HOW ARE THERE NO TVRs FOR RENT?!

I would totally get something on the continent and bring it over to join the rally. You won’t want to be driving a RHD car for most of this route. Suffering through an LHD while in London would be worth the rest of the trip.

Also, you’ll save a bunch of money flying in to somewhere like Paris instead of London (the UK slaps a huge tax on landing there).

And/or caught fire.

Occam’s razor answer.

Similarly, going to Birmingham or Manchester can be $100+ cheaper for the taxes alone. Both have nonstops from the US.

I have driven left hand drive here in the states and it is super easy.

But you may have a very very good pint there about flying.... Think there are any TVRs in France?

I think you mean RHD. I have only driven RHD vehicles in the UK, but I saw a surprising number of LHD vehicles. Based on the above reasons (most of the route is in continental Europe), you’d probably prefer to drive an LHD.

They did make LHD versions they sold to other parts of Europe, but TVRs are even rarer there than in the UK, so the probability of them being on Turo is very low.

Yeah I meant RHD.

Yes LHD would be nicer for the trip.
