FINISHERS IN THE MONTE CARLO RALLY

Sir,

I trust that you will not fail to point out that during the 1962 Monte Carlo Rally, a supposedly easy rally this year, that only 33% of the Volkswagens entered managed to complete the course. Or wouldn’t it be British to mention this ?

Ashtead. A. TAYLOR. [It is also British to mention that a VW won last year’s British Rally Championship, although not primarily a rally car. And while on the subject, may I mention that in the Monte Carlo Rally eight Vauxhalls started and seven finished, an achievement inadvertently omitted from ” M. L. T.’s ” table.—ED.] -*
