London, August 28 (ANI): A diehard Tintin fan in Bristol is all set to drive 5,000 miles to recreate the characters journey in Herges 1939 comic The Land of Black Gold.

Businessman Barrimore England-Davis, 33, is doing all he can to make his expedition look exactly like that of Tintin.

He has spent 6,500 pounds on a classic red Willeys jeep, which resembles the one Tintin drove.

Dog Snowy will accompany Barrimore during the latters six-week tour of Europe and Morocco.

Its something I always wanted to do, British tabloid The Sun quoted Barrimore as saying. (ANI)
