Gentleman`s Journal – October ’24 – C’est du Belge

Dear friends of Belrose Classics,

It’s been a summer full of international adventures like the Peking to Paris Motor Challenge, Top Marques Monaco and the Tour Andalusia. And as we speak, one of our clients is participating in the Sahara Challenge while we are preparing 11 cars for the Zoute Grand Prix. A busy end of summer, just how we like it! And to top it all off, we had the honor to welcome Frédéric Deborsu in our showroom for RTBF's popular show “C'est du Belge”. 

Sahara Challenge
Just like the Peking to Paris Motor Challenge, the Sahara Challenge is organized by Hero Era. The Sahara Challenge has the very best bits that the desert has to offer and condense it all into a 13-day adventure, that will test the soul and leave an unrivalled feeling of triumph after one has conquered the ever-encroaching sands of the desert. We’re so proud to have a team of Belrose Bentley Boys in this adventurous rally.

Peter and Marcel are currently driving their Belrose Bentley Special Justine named “Annabel” through the Moroccan desert. As we speak, they are crossing the Atlas on their way to the desert. Follow their adventures in the link below.

From the dunes of Erg-Chebbi to the mighty Atlas Mountains, this is the event to leave you feeling like a Dakar Superstar. The roads are incendiary, the scenery incredible and the cities and towns that we will visit along the way are magical. What better way to experience it than in one of our Bentleys, right?!

Tour Andalusia
Besides the Moroccan desert, we also had some Belrose Bentley Specials in the Tour Andalusia, hosted by our friends of Touramical. Enjoy some of the pictures that were taken during this cosy event.
