Paul, Jonathan, Toby, Robert and Zoe are taking part inthe Mongol Rally 2008. A charity driving adventure covering 10,000 miles in 4 weeks from Hyde Park, London to Ulaan Baatar, the capital city of Mongolia. No support crew. No fancy 4x4 jeeps. The rules state that you must drive a wholly unsuitable vehicle, ideally bought from a scrapyard for about 20 quid with a pathetically small engine.

For our trusty steeds we have chosen a pair of Austin Maestros... the car that was the zenith of British automotive technology back in the 1970’s.  No power, no style and no reliability - ideal for traveling a third of the way round the earth.

We are hoping to raise nearly £3000 for Mercy Corps, Hope and Homes for Children, and Great Ormond St. Hospital. All the money you donate will go direct to these Charities! For all the details of our Charities, and up to date news of our adventure - check out www.austinpowered.co.uk

Many thanks - Team AustinPowered.
