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. :look:

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.

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.
