Graham Robson's (no relation to Blair Robson, I'm sure!) book "The Works Escorts" does not list the 1977 South Pacific Rally as works entries.

How about 1979 Ford's armada(Mikkola, Vatanen, Robson & Donald) all entered by Masport(NZ)Ltd.?
Are they listed as works entries?

Lists as works results, 1979 Motogard (NZ) Rally, only:
Mikkola (in WTW568S but re-registered in NZ as JB780)
Vatanen (in STW130R but re-registered in NZ as IZ8320)

Someone out there who can help me with this?

Who started with #47 in the rally 1958?
I have the numberplate, but don't know on which swedish car it was mounted.
In that year 302 cars started from different places, but only 36 finished in Monte Carlo! Unfortunately #47 didn't

Sten-Arvid, you can try to send an e-mail to [email:2mo0zzy4]contact@col-de-turini.com[/email:2mo0zzy4] <contact@col-de-turini.com> of the "Col du Turini" site. Good luck.

The number 47 in the Monte 1958 was :
D. Weider - SY. Nystrom SAAB , starting from Oslo

Thank you DARIO! I´m most grateful!

Yes I thought its must be Dick Weider and Nyström because I got the plate from my since many years gone father and he was the chairman of MK Scandia, the club of Dick Weider and a very good friend of Dicks. Dick Weider was a former speedway-star in 1940 - 1950.

Vatanen entered by Ford Motor Co. and all the others by Masport (NZ) Ltd.

Hm, that's odd, the other two had the same cars (Escort RS 1800), and the same entrant-Masport(NZ)Ltd.
So, what determines that Mikkola & Vatanen are works crews, and Robson & Donald are not?
What I want to say is: was there actually any criterium by which they could be distinguished, or was it purely provisional?

Hi jorge, what about 1977 Andruet-"Biche" at Monte and Andruet-Delferrier at Portugal, Acropolis, San Remo and Corse. I believe he was not a part of Fiat's works team. Do you know his entrant on these events?

Also, I believe there was no more official Alpine-Renault team in 1977, so what was the entrant for Frequelin-Delaval at Monte?

Thank you.
