Can anyone tell me who was the crew for car 48 in the 1962 Monte Carlo Rally, what sort of car it was and how they finished, or didn't ?

Have you tried google. I immediately found a listing of the results

Thanks grasscarp......have seen that list, but can't see car 48 mentioned, unless I'm missing it !!

I am glad you asked this question as it led me to a website of ITN clips which require a huge sum of money (like £850) to view them of this rally. The first intro which you can view but without sound shows the reporter Nick Barker. He was a work colleague of mine years ago at the BBC and I introduced him to his second wife. I did try looking at a free clip of one of the other bits but it just showed a few cars on the circuit but not the elusive car number 48. If I have any luck will get back to you.

ps My father was an army entrant in a Monte Carlo rally around that time and I can remember us watching his departure on tv. However he died a couple of years back so I cant ask him about it.

En ce qui concerne la liste des engagés, elle n'est pas informatisée à l'heure actuelle, donc difficilement communicable
