Outside exhausts

Cream paint, exposed pipes, spoked wheels: nothing on this car forgives a knock.

Two spares on the tail

Everything that sticks out is a corner to protect. There are more of them than on a modern car.

Each machine on its own cradle, strapped by the fork and never by the bars.

296 and GT3 RS

Two new cars on two decks, never seeing each other for the whole trip.

A hand-painted body: what it fears most is being brushed against.

Lower deck

The low deck is for the low car. Which one goes where is decided before anything moves.

993 Turbo

A sought-after youngtimer travels like a new car.

Half a metre either side. The mirrors come in before the car does.

Loaded and closed
