with classic Volvo cars travelling from Panama to Alaska
Participants
Owners of a Volvo Classic car – the Duet, the Cat-Back, the Amazon, the Volvo 140, the Volvo 240, the Volvo 164 and the P 1800 – can take part in the “Volvo Classics – Panamericana/Indian Trail” journey.
Both participants should be in possession of a valid driving licence.
The number of participants is limited to 60 teams.
We will drive in 2 groups each with 30 teams. It has still to be decided whether the groups will drive on the same day or if one group should drive one day earlier or one day later than the other group. This would mean that the groups only come together during rest days.
The journey is being organized in cooperation with the “Volvo Club of America”. Members of this club may also participate.
Costs
The costs have been estimated at 7,400 Euros per participant, based on 60 participating teams (2 people with 1 car).
Included in this budget are: the entire travel programme, the hotels based on double rooms, the transport of the car by ship from Antwerp to Panama and the return from Anchorage to Zeebrugge, the flight from Amsterdam to Panama and the return from Anchorage to Amsterdam, the organisation, the route book, travel guides, medical support and technical support by the teams of car mechanics.
The cost of the visa, customs, insurance and fuel is not included.
Further information will be given at a later stage.
The final cost of the trip will be fixed 3 months before departure.
Payment should be made in 4 instalments.
The first instalment is the registration fee and amounts to 800 Euros per participant.
The registration fee will, in principle, not be refunded.
You will be informed later on regarding payment of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th instalment.
Technical matters and safety
All participating cars should be in perfect condition and well maintained.
The cars will be inspected in advance by members of the Technical Team.
The inspections will be made in spring 2014.
Further information regarding locations and dates will follow in due course.
Participation will only be permitted following written approval by the Technical Team.
During the trip technical support will be provided by two “technical teams”.
Information
You can find more detailed information on the new website www. indiantrail.nl
An informative meeting will be organized in spring 2013. You will shortly receive further information about the date and location.
Registration
It is possible to make a definite registration from 1 January 2013 at 12.00 pm by sending in the participation form and payment of the registration fee (800 Euros per participant).
The order of receipt of the registration form and fee will play a determining role in the selection of the participants.
