Daily updates and image galleries from the world of classic and historic motorsport, classic rally news, historic motor racing, hill climbs, car trials, classic car shows, and major classic car and automobilia auctions. RETRO-FACT Fifty years ago in January 1965 the weather played havoc during Rallye Monte-Carlo when after Chambery heavy snow decimated the 276-car entry. Just 35 cars struggled to the finish. A Mini Cooper S won, in the hands of Timo Makinen, with Eugen Bohringer runner-up in the unsuitable Porsche 904, followed by Pat Moss (SAAB 96). For the record, two Austin 1800s finished the event and 26-year-old Roger Clark took his Rover 2000 to a well-deserved 6th place overall. CAR FOR SALE Well known Triumph TR4 for sale. They don't come any better. Many outright wins, including 2014 Rally of the Tests. Tastefully upgraded, fully sorted and recently checked over, ready for 2015. MSA and FIVA Historic Papers.
