Smoke, do you know who drove the other cars on these brilliant pic´s ?
Definately Mabbs in the Dunlop overalls, who's the big fella next to him ?SMOKE GREY wrote: I thought the first pic (car 27) was geoff Mabbs .
My guess (dont have a picture this old) is that it could be Jan Ódor ?Surf 1275 wrote:

this is only a guess, as I dont have a picture that old, of mr Ódor, and I cant find any info, on which date Geoff Mabbs started driving for JanSpeed ?
Thanks, I could not get it to fit, regarding year - time, as Jan would be a young man in the early 60ies.SMOKE GREY wrote:

The pictures are from a finnish site Hankiralli-50v. I think the gentleman is Fred Geitel (1918-1995) his finnish co-driver. Mr. Geitel was motoring journalist and founder of Hankiralli.JC T ONE wrote:Thanks, I could not get it to fit, regarding year - time, as Jan would be a young man in the early 60ies.SMOKE GREY wrote:

Could this crew be J.Oksanen/P.Oksanen ?SMOKE GREY wrote:

Thanks 1071dk for your reply. That reg. number is the only swedish Cooper entry in 60`s 1000 Lakes I don´t have. I will keep on searching.1071dk wrote:Fin997
I have not been able to find the reg. number of the Eric Hyrwall/Sven-Olof Wallin car.
They were members of Borås Motor Club, so maybe the reg. number starts with O(Gothenburg).
Eric Hyrwall was also known as a boatracer.
