Yaniv Cohen and Ali Singer are making aliyah in style by driving a 1948 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith saloon to their new homeland as part of the JNF’s London-Jerusalem car rally. But the pair’s epic journey was almost over before it had begun.
Mr Singer, a 28-year-old Londoner, was responsible for getting the vehicle to the starting line.
But unaccustomed to the fuelling requirements of a vintage Rolls-Royce, he ran out of petrol on the way to the start and only just made it to the ferry in Dover with the 25 other entrants.
Added Mr Cohen, 26, from Manchester: “The opportunity came up to take part in the rally and I was very much up for it. It’s a different way of going. I’m not well-travelled so this was a good chance to see places.”
