Rauno and Adrian are on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/thesportingminis/posts/rauno-aaltonen-and-henry-liddon-on-the-1967-east-african-safari-rally-in-one-of-/1896210860415558/
This is the same Mini and team that won the 1967 Monte Carlo Rally!
there is a book, which costs 20 dollars to buy, and 20 fucking dollars to ship (nope, not buying a 40 dollar book) which is the autobiography of Tony Ambrose, the BMC Works co-driver of many world rallys in the early 60s
20 dollars to mail a paperback book? Not in the budget. I'd rather buy TWO books that don't get shipped around the world.
Rauno Altonnen. Could that be the East Africa Safari...or,maybe the London to Sydney?
ReplyDeleteI didn't even think to look into that... but damn, you're right, I bet that there's a very good post about a Mini on world rally adventures right there!
