[RALLYE PARIS – MOSCOU – PARIS 2009] [TECHNICAL PREPARATIONS]
[EXPLANATION AND OBJECTIVES] [ORGANISATION RALLYE CAAR.NL]

TECHNICAL PREPARATION OF THE RALLY

All the participants with their vintage cars must meet the requirements of the technical inspection. The safety of the driver and the passengers must be guaranteed. For the sponsors it´s important to know that “La Reina Negra” will be in a top-condition. In 2005 , I registered myself and the car as possible participants with the organisation CAAR.NL Since 2006 , spare parts have been imported from Belgium and Holland to Tenerife. Sometimes I had difficulties bringing them over. Like the exhaust manifold. The security people at the airport considered this spare part as a possible murder weapon (…..)

The originality of an oldtimer is endangered if technical perfection is aimed at. Technical preparation aims also to eliminate the possibility of small failures in the search for reliability. I am always looking for improvements. Below are listed items that have been improved or changed :

 

Tires:

Five new original tires (Michelin 185/400).
Maybe you don't believe it, but this classic car has been driven 25 years on Michelin Mercedes cartruck tires !
Excellent quality but certainly not original and comfortable !

 

Wheels:

The wheels received a anti –oxigen treatment at the firm Julio Crespo in Arafo (Tenerife)
The wheels have been sprayed with a colour of the fifties.
The excellent paintwork was done by Renault Garcia in San Isidro – Granadilla (Tenerife)

 

Radiator:

The original radiator had a production number 450 and was produced in January 1951. After 57 years of service it has been replaced by a new one. More information can be found on:
