"rug" is English slang for a wig.

Welcome to the forum.
If you look back through this thread you will see the posters have focussed on compiling a full set of results. I assume that once the statistics are in place the compilers...

Do you need any Safari details? I have a book of Safari history that lists all finishers. Driver, model, but not rally number or registration number apart from what's in various photos in the...

Are you looking only for results from 1958-1960?
Do you want only the highest placed SAAB? Or are you looking for all of them?

Is any of the registration number clear enough to read on your original? Every little bit of information helps.

Although not connected to Ecurie Cod Fillet, they should have been! ;)

:mad: Wrong guess!

I Googled 'Eminence' and not many companies came up. Eminence Speakers appears to be the most likely candidate. I doubt if it was Eminence Organic Skin Care or the Brazilian pop group Eminence

I'm afraid that's all I could find searching the 1950's Motor Sport CD ROM - They didn't list the Championship rallies every year. The lists were published in the November or December magazines and...

Grisza, a few more pieces for your jigsaw from Motor Sport magazine. What are you planning to do with this information?

In addition to the European Touring Championship, ie Rally Championship,...

I am simply quoting what the magazine report said. I'm afraid I don't know details. Maybe the Nurburgring and Wiesbaden Rallies were the same event as the two places are only about 60mi / 100km...

Infiniti,
As discussion has moved on to other topics since Jrally posted his query it would have helped to trace things if you had copied his query into your response.

Everybody,
As we have...

And a bit more.

The November 1954 Motor Sport reports on the October 6th meeting of the CSI and some interesting things come out.
(1) A resolution to rename the "Touring Championship of Europe...

A few more clues from a Jaguar book:
"In 1953, Ian Appleyard foresook XKs, which were no longer eligible for the Monte Carlo Rally, for a Mk VII and finished a fine second in the general...

In colonial times (pre-1960 or so), although they were nominally separate countries with different legal status the four East African territories were governed as a unit with one currency and no...

As your RAF pilot friend was 'resident' in Kenya at the time, he could have obtained a Kenyan (or maybe East African) competition licence which would allow him to run in the Safari.

When did the...

The book is Alpine Trials & Rallies 1910 t0 1973 by Martin Pfundner

This little book covers all the events in the period stated as a narrative with some rallies covered in more detail than others....

All I know about the Stella Alpina is from a book about Alpine Trials and Rallies - ie principally the Alpine Rally. It was run from 1947 t0 1955 with a length between 1000km and 1500km and was a...

What is the list supposed to represent? [European] Championship rallies? International rallies? Any rallies?

Is the Midnattsolsrallyt the 'Rally to the Midnight Sun' that later became the...

I agree that "the French" do seem to have a cavalier attitude to copyright. This may be due to the French Law being less restrictive than English Law in the interpretation of "Fair use".
However,...

What model of Borgward were you driving? I think Grisza would be interested to know.

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

Fair point. I suppose I meant "without the chance of further errors and 're-interpretations' creeping in" which can occur with secondary sources.

That's great! Prime source material with no chance of errors and 're-interpretations' creeping in.

That looks useful information. While you are doing it can I suggest adding the source of the results - ie their provenance. It will help in tracking down any anomalies (after all, even even...
