The Scottish Start for the Monte will be Clydebank, Starting from the All new Clydebank College.
Beside the Collage bus terminal there will be a show of around 100 Pre 1980 Classic cars that would have taken part in past Monte Carlo Rallies. If your car fits the bill and you would like to take part Contact Jim Paterson.

Join the starters as they line up from 2.00pm on the Sunday afternoon before they depart on their 2190 mile trip to Monte Carlo from 5.00pm.
Cars leaving Clydebank will drive through the night to Dover and over the English Channel to Calais. They will finish the event, if successful, on February 4th with a grand ceremony after participating in the famous regularity runs in the mountains above Monaco.
A special period Monte Carlo Show will be located on the site of the former John Brown shipyard and Monte cars will leave the start ramp in front of the �33 million Clydebank College campus.
Cars from America and Italy have entered the event, as has the crew of Speed Scotland, the team behind the world land speed record at Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah last year. The Lesmahagow-based team will attempt to win the Monte Carlo rally in a 1979 Porsche.
