60s/70s club rallying pics

[bazzateer]

I eventually want Madge (the Singer Vogue in my sig') to have a period club rally look so had a quick Google for suitable images. Anyone out there got any more? Stick to 50s, 60s and 70s cars though please

I copied this pic yesterday, taken in 1987 outside my house....my old '74 Avenger, which was a pukka road rally weapon (this was back in the days when advertising on road rally cars was still allowed). Apologies for the horrendous quality, good ol' 110 pocket cameras!!!

From memory it had a lightened balanced and tuftrided 1600 Sunbeam Ti bottom-end (forged pistons etc etc), a gennie Grp2 head, twin Stromberg 175's (one choke per cylinder was outlawed on road rallies in 1984) and a full Grp2 manifold/system giving about 90bhp at the back wheels. Full tarmac-spec Billies all round meant it handled beautifully, I used to be able to hoon it round islands with a front wheel about 4" off the ground, especially on the super-soft Avon Turbospeeds that were so beloved of rally boys back then.

I sold it in late '87 to a young lad from Droitwich who dropped a pair of 40's on it and terrorised the streets of Worcester, after that I know not what happened to it.

Have some more road rally pics from back in the day.

Quite simply, the winningest photo of the last month on this forum. THAT is damned fine work, and the car as well, as the costuming. Wow, stunning.
