RETRO-FACTS
Conditions were so bad at the start of the 1960 East African Safari Rally, only 37 out of the 84 crews completed the first leg. While, as what can only be regarded as an exercise in supreme optimism, four new Mini Minors were entered, all of which either fell apart or went OTL, including the car of Peter Garnier that competed the distance to Nairobi but was five hours late. Meanwhile, the Rally was won by locals Bill Fritschy and Jack Ellis in their Mercedes-Benz 219.
