Dimi, I was lost in my questions and I ask you for Akropolis 1972. It was my mistake but good for you because you don't have all numbers but I have:
01 Lindberg 4
02 Lampinen 7
03 Warmbold 10
04 Trombotto 1
05 Fall 8
06 Mehta 2
07 Smania 5
08 "Siroco" 19
09 Fiat 30
10 Sipahi 32
11 Jaroszewicz 25
12 Isopp 75
13 Argyris 74
DQ Ioannides 31

I noticed some little differences in result you sent with numbers and reults I have. I'll check with my sources and I'll try to make them clear if possible.
Regards

No other dates.

Hi Dimi again,
Here are those differences I noticed.
1956. in book "50 years of Akropolis Rally" 2nd is Papadopoulos and you have not him in your post - is it a mistake or book contains an error?
1958. in book "50 years..." is 9th Menz/Eikelmann but in Autsoport report from that rally 9th is Eikelmann/Hartmann - do you know who is right?
1968. in book "50 years..." classification of top 10 is different to that you posted, your post is similar to Autosport report with 7th Ballestrieri/Stone (Lancia Fulvia) - is it book's error or Ballestrieri was later excluded?

In early first results he was on second place but after an extra penalty,came to 27th place.

1958. in book "50 years..." is 9th Menz/Eikelmann but in Autsoport report from that rally 9th is Eikelmann/Hartmann - do you know who is right?

Both books that i have they write "MENZ/ EICKELMANN. I dont know what is correct.

1968. in book "50 years..." classification of top 10 is different to that you posted, your post is similar to Autosport report with 7th Ballestrieri/Stone (Lancia Fulvia) - is it book's error or Ballestrieri was later excluded?

goohhh,goohhh!!!! In one book that i have ,i read: "The 7th place of Italian A.Ballestrieri ,after 36 years is still doubt."

From my side any information only for Rally Acropolis. Nothing else.

To help compile the defintive works rally history of the Lotus Cortina, I am now looking for just two Mk1 registration numbers - the Elford car on 1966 Vltava and 1966 German.
For the Mk2 I need registration numbers:
1967 Gulf London - Soderstrom No.2 (TorYVX???E)
1967 1000 Lakes - Soderstrom and O.Andersson (Ford Sweden cars?)
1967 3 Cities - Soderstrom
1967 RAC (cancelled at start) - Gelder/Hunt No4, Ward/Jackson No7, Hill/Siegle-Morris No9, Clark/Porter No31(CTC23E?), Chappell/Harper No35 (JUH638E?)
1967 Lydden Rallycross (week after RAC) - Hill/Clark double-driven car No.1/18.
1968 Swedish - Clark No12? (CTC23E?)

Unlikely anyone can help I know - especially as it's I who have the photos of the 67 RAC!

Does anyone have the dates of the following 1961 French rallies?

Rallye de Picardie
Rallye de Touquet
Rallye de la Baule
Rallye de Flandres-Hainaut

I am researching Morgan successes in rallies during the 1960s to include in a furure book. I know Guy Savoye did well in all of the above.

Sincere Thanks
