Have you any data ? > 1979 Tour de la Med'

Hi guys.

New user, having followed the forum vigorously for several years, and now I need your help!

Having recently started my rallying career, I have ended up with Suzuki Motorsport in Denmark. The boss of the team is Anders Lysen, who has driven a variety of cars, but one in particular has been of my interest: A Toyota Celica ST205. In itself maybe not the most exciting car, but the history makes it interesting to me.

The facts I know:
Anders drove the car in 2000.
It ran (fortunately for the 'history lesson') on the number K:AM 3643 when Anders had it.
He bought it from Jens Mulvad, who used it in 1999.
It was used by Freddy Loix at some stage, might have been the Ypres 1996 and '97-winning car.
It was used by Abdullah Bakhashab for a period of time (I assume this to be the car he used in the '98 WRC).
It was reported in a Danish magazine that the car was one of two Celicas used as test mules for Corolla WRC-parts, and that the other car was in the firm grip of TTE/Toyota.
Anders sold the car to a Dutchman or Belgian, he does not remember who.


What I am interested in is the later history of the car, and if possible, the current location of it, as I (and Anders) are very interested in knowing its whereabouts.

Hope you guys can help!

Hello,

I'm looking for any information of Opel Ascona 400 reg. PA-CE 802. Mr. Peter Mattig sold that car to Finland at 1983. Does anyone know any rallies or other history for this car before?

Mattig also had Ascona 400 reg. PA-CE 803 which was in his own use.

Also any information of 1983 Rallye Köln Ahrweiler's Finnish competitors is very welcome. Entry list, results, pictures...


thanks,

-JLe-

Dear JLe, thanks for the missing names.

I don't have any of the 76 RAC official paperwork now (I was a competitor) other than the Road Book and the original entry list. Motoring News often used to print a list of retired crews and reasons for retirement a week after the main rally report - but I only have the edition with the main report now. If someone has that later edition it might be possible to work out non-starters.
Of your list, only Asterhag and Gallacher are mentioned in the report - the former as off on Staindale and the latter as out with clutch problems quite early on.
FJG from here was a competitor, so may have some better records.

Arild Antonsen (Norway) is co-driver of John Haugland on Rally Arctic 1975
