Synopsis: |
From AC to Wartburg, via Ford, BMC and Lancia, here is a guide to works rally cars built for international rallies, starting with embryonic works programmes in the late 1940s and coming right into the 1990s.Much of the book is devoted to the big manufacturers in rallying history (such as Saab, Ford, Porsche and Audi) but beyond these almost every manufacturer has a works programme luking somewhere in its background, and no stone has been left unturned in making this a comprehensive survey.This book compares rally modifications with standard production cars, how and why models were developed, the significant rallies in which they competed, and the people who drove them. |
