Classic Car Comment Only during the Pomeroy Trophy could you witness a Chevron B8 mixing it with a bog standard Austin Maxi, both with an equal chance of victory.

Classic Motorsport Retro-Fact The first Monte-Carlo Rally was held in January 1911 when, of the grand total of 23 cars that started, 16 reached the finish, including Henri Rougier who was declared winner. Von Esmarch who arrived first thought he should have won, refused his sixth place prize, and was excluded for poor sportsmanship.
