I am off on a three week drive in my Morgan later in the year to attend both the Belgium & Italian GPs , will be fully mobile and able to stop and detour at will . I plan to stop at the site of Bernd Rosemeyer memorial at his crash site and also visit the cemetary where Rudolf Caracciola is buried , ANY OTHER Ideas would be gratefully received !

Thanks

Kevin, Roger Clark and I travelled from Cheshire to Monza for the GP last year and took in Rheims, Spa, Nurburgring and Hockenheim (museum and Jim Clark memorial). There is also a museum in Stavelot.

I am sure you will have a great time and hope this gives you a few ideas for your itinerary. Let us know where you get to and post a few photos!

Never been there, but maybe it's an idea to visit the Schlumpf collection in Mulhouse http://www.collectio...om/en/schlumpf/ as it's somewhere between Spa and Monza.

Not too lengthy a diversion, but you'd find it very frustrating if you didn't allow a whole day for the Schlumpf collection, doubt if there's a museum like it anywhere else in the world, has to be seen to be believed, and it's a very pleasant drive south through Alsace-Lorraine, one of our favourite parts of France. No motorsport connection, more Franco-Prussian War, but the fortress above the town of Bitche between Saarbrücken and Strasburg is awe inspiring if you like that kind of thing.

The Villa Trips museum in Kerpen isn't awfully far away from Spa...

It may be a little out of your way, but I would heartily recommend the Auto Technik Museum at Sinsheim between Frankfurt and Stuttgart. Cars, planes, boats, trains etc, including Concorde, the Tupolev "Concordeski", a Russian Buran Space Shuttle... Mind-blowing.

And Mulhouse is kind of between there and Italy (at a stretch) - but also incredible.

Amazing. I live less than an hour´s drive from Mulhouse and I have never visited the Schlumpf collection. I really must make the effort one of these days.

Did this website about my Spa trip back in 1997 - scroll down for a few photos from the museum in Stavelot + address (dead links will be fixed soon)

Mulhouse: of course!

Close to Mulhouse you can also find the Peugeot museum in Sochaux, quite interesting even if you are not into the marque
(Carrefour de l’Europe - 25600 Sochaux, Tel.: 03 81 99 42 03 - Fax: 03 81 99 42 06).

In Basel there should be the Monteverdi museum (Oberwilerstr. 20, CH-4102 Binningen Basel), many Monteverdi's but also Ferrari's and rare sports and racing cars.

In Milan you may find the Ferrari shop.

The Schlumpf collection: when you walk in there will your yar drop and your eyes gonna pop out.

The Monteverdi collection.
I went there some years back. It's not big but sure worth a stop. Unfortunatly: Open for groups only on request (that wasn't when I was there).

A great road to travel is the 'Route des Grêtes'. Strasbourg > Sélestat > Ste-Marie-aux-Mines where you get onto the actuall Route des Crêtes down to Mulhouse. I drove home that way(well, in opposite direction) when I visited the Monteverdi collection. That was a great drive in the early evening. If you do that road, listen to 'The Road To Hell' by Chris Rea (or something along those lines). Should fit perfect specially in a Morgan.
