A few years ago there was an article in Cyprus Today of a couple who had done just that. Don't know how you track down the article, but someone may know more. Hope so.

Go into the old Cyprus 44 forum. Google "Driving from UK to Cyprus". There is a lot of information on there from people who have actually done the journey.

Obvious answer - It depends which route you take!!
Cyprus44 is well worth a look.
If you take a week/10 days some people have enjpyed a leisurely holiday seeing Istanbul and the Balkans.
A couple of travellers were ripped off/robbed in the Balkans - beware dodgy fines from Border Guards and Police - and advise giving them a miss.
If you are in a hurry take the ferry from Ancona, Italy to Igoumenista, Greece. This avoids the Balkans and is a restful break from driving.
Dunkirk to Tasucu Ferry terminal 2172 miles avoiding expensive French toll roads as far as possible and using the ferry and it can be done in 3 to 4 days depending on how fast your car will go and how long you want to drive each day.
An easier way is to use the motorail from Germany to the Turkish border. Painless but a bit expensive unless you share sleeping accommodation!!!
There is a good web site which describes the road and rail routes - just punch in UK to Turkey by Road or similar words
