A considerable number of vehicles have already registered, including extremely rare cars such as the Peerless GT, Jensen C-V8, Beradino, Microplas and Matra Djet.

However, there are still a few gaps to be filled and a few places in the coveted inner courtyard of the Lucerne Museum of Transport are still up for grabs. Where are the drivers of Buggies, Nova or Apal vehicles?

Is there still a drivable Albar Sonic somewhere that could be shown? Is there a Glasspar in Switzerland? Or an LMB? A Ginetta G4 or G12 would also enrich the field ...
