LeShuttle transported more than £500 million worth of supercars, hypercars, luxury vehicles and collector cars to and from the 24 Hours of Le Mans as thousands of motorsport enthusiasts travelled to the iconic endurance race last weekend.
More than 5,500 performance, luxury and collector vehicles were booked to travel via LeShuttle during the month, with the combined value of the cars estimated at more than £500 million.
