Interesting, thanks.
Whilst camping in France in 2005 we met Rob Spijker, a descendent of the 
Spyker family who had just taken part in the re-run of the Pekin - Paris 
rally.

Details of the ABC documentary of the 2005 re-run can be found here.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "OG" 
saying something like:

Thanks for that pointer. Must find a torrent of it now.

<later>
Hohum, there was a torrent of the ABC prog, but it's fairly dead at the
moment.

That's the closest, indeed, near enough identical to the original, with
the exception of the Contal actually making it in the re-run by the
looks of it. From what I can see on the net all sort of eejits jumped on
the re-run bandwagon with utterly inappropriate cars.

<googles>

Fer gawd's sake, they're still going to be at it in 2010...

 saying something like:

Found a torrent of the Australian BroadCorpo 2005 re-run of the event,
which was probably the closest in spirit and size to the original event.
