COMMENT The 15th Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique begins in just a few days when 306 cars depart six cities across Europe including Oslo, Warsaw, Glasgow, Barcelona, Turin and Reims, and drive through the night to reach Monaco mid-morning on Tuesday. Then follows four days of mountain regularities taking in the most difficult of Alpine climbs before returning to the famous harbour-side during the early hours of Saturday morning. Retro-Speed's interest is in car number 299, the Lancia Fulvia of Steve and Tony Graham so we take this opportunity of wishing them all the very best.

RETRO-FACT

In April 1906 Charles Jarrott, along with three friends and equipped with an arsenal of food and drink, departed the Royal Automobile Club in Piccadilly on a seven-litre Crossley with the intention of reaching the south of France within forty-eight hours.
They crossed the Channel at Folkestone and travelled via Boulogne, Abbeville, Pontoise, Versailles, Dijon, Lyon, Aix en Provence and Frejus where it was necessary to negotiate the winding mountain roads before the final descent into Monte Carlo. The journey was completed in thirty-seven-and-a-half hours at an average speed of nearly 25mph door-to-door.
