| The Le Mans classic in September 2002 was a great success. Twenty two drivers, mechanics and owners were to be dressed in Road Map overalls, fleeces and polo shirts for the event. The team entrant "Norfolk and Chance" was determined to do well. One of our cars the Invicta (number 3) owned by Duncan Arthurs and driven by Sam Stretton and Patrick Blakeney-Edwards was one the overall team winners for the event. We congratulate everyone involved in the preparation of all the cars along with the drivers and the fearless owners who let their cars be driven flat out for such an enduring event. | |

Fantastic start, Mark takes off in the V12 with a very loud roar coming from 12 cylinders and is immediately in fourth place. |

Mark is
congratulated by some of the team after having one the cylinder head
gaskets replaced during one of the several pit stops. Nick Hine who
is leaning on the car also had just completed some extremely fast lap
times in his Lagonda LG45 and finished in sixth place overall a fantastic
achievement
