For those wondering what a 1958-65 Wolseley 1500 (I mentioned in a recent
Ford Cortina thread) looks like...
Check out page 9 of the June 1992 issue (this months) of British Cars
regarding the Monte Carlo Rally this year. Its in the centre of the
picture at the top of the page. No, no, no!!! Not the Aston Martin DB4,
the one next to it!
Wow, an old Wolseley racing at Monte Carlo! Unfortunately it doesn't appear
to have finished in the top ten (shown in the results panel). Of course,
this looks like the rally for the older cars, the Monte Carlo Challenge.
Check out the lower photo! L-R; an old 1950-ish Ford Consul saloon, a
Triumph Herald and at right the tail-end of what looks like an old mid-60s
Vauxhall Velox saloon!
For those who don't get the magazine:
3rd Monte Carlo Challenge (February 1992) top ten:

1. Aston Martin DB4 11960
2. Volvo PV544 11959
