1966 Monte Carlo rally unused footage by British Pathe

[Etienne B.]

Maybe already posted here, but I noted the use of spots instead of mains by a Cortina at the start of a stage,
and by the very annoyed mood of a certain Citroën driver at the Prize giving ... unlike Trautman !!

Some nice close up of GRX555D and GRX55D too

Excellent, merci.

00:46, Rosemary Smith in her Hillman Imp, disqualified I think too. (edit, yes - headlamps too http://www.imps4ever.info/racing/rallies/rosemary.html ) Couple of photos of her here on the '66 Monte, and a toy car by Corgi made at the time.

I found a good pic of a Hillman Imp on a race track, being chased by a folk-lift truck and a firemans mobile waterpump in reference to the Covenrty Climax engines in all of them. I'll try and find it again.

More Monte photos, while I am looking at them now. Pat Moss and a right miserable Anne Wisdom, two pics, Monte 1960, Austin A40 Farina,
Have a look at the badge that Pat is wearing between her tits, nice. Those must be worth a bob or two.





Thomas Wisdom/Jack Hay, Monte 1960,

Nice one Austin!
