Rover Event
Marauder Raid to Switzerland - August 12th to 19th 2025, In August 1950 George Mackie and Peter Wilks took the prototype Marauder, KAC 313, to Switzerland to carry out acceleration, braking and handling tests on the mountain passes around Interlaken.
Having completed the tests they drove it to Brussels in a day, no mean feat when you consider there were no motorways!
In 2000, to commemorate fifty years since that achievement, three Marauders, including KAC, and some accompanying Rovers repeated the trip, although they did take two days to drive to Brussels.
In 2010 and 2015 the Swiss passes were done again and it is intended to repeat the trip next year to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary. All Rovers, or Rover enthusiasts welcome! Contact Ian Glass maraudercars@gmail.com tel: 07803 407881 on 12 August 2025
in 31 days and 17:20 hours.
Duration: 7 days and 00:00 hours.
