If I'm thinking of the right year (will check), Fina colours (and was leading at one point).

I cannot find any information in either World Rallying or Rally's & Races about who serviced Saby's Lancia. It could well have been the French Lancia importer running his car. No mention of Saby in connection with Jolly Club.

Yes, after Totip, Jolly Club ran under Fina colours in both 1990 and 1991. It's likely that Saby's car was also under their service.

Saby's car was entered by Grenoble Sport Auto with the support of Lancia France (Concurent was Lancia - Fina) and Cerrato was entered by Jolly Club.

Thanks janusz, jrally, kabouter, fal & josti!

I still find it strange to have similar looking cars (in exactly the same FINA livery) being entered by different entrants, but there you are.

In 1991, I've found out that Saby's & Loubet's car at Monte were both entered by Lancia Fina, and yet Saby's car had French license plates, while Loubet's had Italian ones!
All the cars being Lancia Deltas, of course.

And now change the subject. That question is dedicated to you Kaps. In 1957 in Rally Poland (sometimes known as Polish Rally) there were crews from Yugoslavia taking part. It was a certain S. Vidmar (Porsche 356 1300 S) and Santavic (Fiat TV). Do you know their first names?
Then in 1964 4 Yugoslavian crews with Zastrava 750 were entered but having only entry list I know only numbers reserved to them:27, 28, 29, 67. All I know is that some YU drivers took part in Poland Rally 1964, maybe you can know their names, too.

I'm very sorry that I can't help you, but I have absolutely no idea about that.
Or, in fact about anything pre-1973.

Sorry!

Bruno Saby's entrant was Lancia Fina Racing, but no idea who prepared and serviced his Lancia;

Jesus Puras was entered by Jolly Club during 1990, but I believe this was the Spanish arm.

At 1990 R.A.C., Mats Jonsson finished 4th in a private Toyota Celica GT Four.

His co-driver was Anders Olsson or Lars Backman?
