Two Isabellas finished the Safari in 1956 but were unplaced. This was the softest Safari ever with 78 finishers from 90 starters

Do you know maybe what version of Isabella it was that Ruprecht Hopfen drove in 1957? Was it saloon, coupe or TS (cabrio)?
BTW, I found that back in 1957 Borgward Isabella TS raced Mille Miglia but didn't finish. Also I found some traces of Borgward cars in Acropolis Rally:
1956 - 19. Wendker / Westerholt -D- Borgward
1958 - 18. Dr Joachim Kühling - Kurt Schöttler -D- Borgward Isabella
Again if someone knows what versions raced in Acropolis Rally please let me know.
I competed on the Tulpen Rallye with Marek Gierowski at number 7 -first event after a long break in 1973, Bob DeJong was the organiser. No entry list - sorry.
Thank you; I hope it will be wonderful in due course. I am trying to decide whether to eventually widen the scope to include other British events where TCS did not produce the results. Certainly in the period 1979 to 1990 the major omissions are some of the British International events. Anyway for the moment I will try and complete the current project.Quote:

ps.
It's great this forum exists (especially the history sub-forum) - a real gem I must say.
It was in 1974, Mr. West ! You drove a Porsche Carrera RS ..

I have now finished an initial pass through the 1983 results data (again more gaps than I would like but various people are searching for me). See
TCS British Rally Results from 1983 and I have started on 1982 and the current data is at TCS British Rally Results from 1982 with one or two additions per day.
Intrigued by the '83 Welsh Rally results sheet, listing Jimmy McRae as winning 'Class 7' ahead of Weidner's works 80 Quattro. What was 'Class 7'? Can't just be Group B cars, as otherwise the Quattros would surely have been classified ahead of the Manta; and the Chevette as well, presumably, given that for '83 I was under the impression it was running as a Group B car?Quote:

I am missing car # 42, it was a A8-car, but missing info about driver, co-driver and car.
