Your car must be worth no more than £500 ( but we are a little flexible). What you choose to spend on the car after that to make it roadworthy and to decorate it is completely up to you. It may be possible to get a car donated if you are taking part in the rally for charity. We will accept specialty cars with a different value. Please ask for clarification on any vehicle you are thinking of.
