They loaded the open car onto a truck and sent it to Lahore while Lang and Bev travelled to the city in a regular car. They will then reach India through the Wagah Border.

Their drive in a 1922 car is under the FIVA flag, the world governing body of vintage automobiles. This drive is being covered and followed in 100 countries.
Lang and Bev Kidby are among Australia’s well-known husband-and-wife adventurer teams. For over 40 years, they have travelled and led significant expeditions in over 80 countries worldwide.
