Rally Books Collection?

A plea to those of you with extensive rally book collections - i don't suppose there are any colour photos of any of these cars in your books?

82 Toyota Celica 2000 GT RA 40 16v Eklund Portugal - 2nd
82 Datsun Silvia/Violet GTS Kirkland Safari - 3rd
88 Audi Quattro Coupe Torph Sweden - 3rd
89 Mitsubishi Starion Turbo Tauziac Ivory Coast - 2nd
89 Toyota Corolla 16v Choteau Ivory Coast - 3rd
90 Audi 90 Quattro Stohl Ivory Coast - 2nd

Best regards

Paul

Thanks - unfortunately, i've trawled that Bandama/Ivory Coast rally thread already and no good colour pictures of the cars in question, hence i'm hoping some of the books may have snaps.

Best regards

Paul

I'm after a copy of the 40 years of boreham book anyone selling one??

Selling some of my books soon

Photos of the two books you are after (I am after the Documentary of a Rally Team to complete my M-Sport set), I can recommend both of them. It might be worth contacting M-Sport to see if they have any spare copies of the Focus era (it was a limited edition of 2,000) as they had some last year at c.£60.

M-Sport - The 2006 FIA Manufacturers' World Rally Championship Winning Season



M-Sport - WRC:The Focus Era



There are several Ford-related books which I am still after while I would love to hear from anyone who has a spare copy of the Rally Yearbook 2005/06 (Eds. Philippe Joubin & Jean-Philippe Vennin).

I picked my 2 books from msport today which was cool I asked and they still the a few of the white book

Nice one Graham. Pleased you got them.


Im after two books.
The Best Rally in the World (the story of the 2300 club and the tour of mull) by Brian Molyneux and
Memory Lanes ( a history of the 1970-1973 motoring news championship) by Peter Robinson

Ref Memory Lanes 1970 - 73 I have a spare one actually signed by Colin Francis and Dave Kirkham.

PM me with your email to discuss!

Cheers
Chris

Mick is now taking orders for the third (and possibly last) of his books, "A Matter of Time". It should be available later in the year...http://mickbriant.com/

I have matching numbers copies of the first two and have the third one already on order

Thanks for the info Peter.

I bought myself another Martin Holmes book. I wasn't sure what to expect, I'd bought Russell Brookes' book and the seller had this for €3 so I bought it along.

It's used, it has more stamps than a 70's rally timecard, but still in decent condition and it contains 2 photos I hadn't seen previously of Chris Sclater and Bob de Jong in Portugal in 1972 and Spa in 1975.

My dad was involved in both efforts, and I'm happy I can finally associate 2 parts of my souvenir collection with the cars they're related to.

Spa was qualified as "relatively cheap" - it's now the most expensive rally in the country, times have changed!

Downloaded an app for the Tablet last week and spent 2 nights inputting the ISBN numbers of all the books on the shelves, at the moment between F1, Rally, Motorbike and Classic Car books, biographies and autobiographies there's 199 books on the book shelf with another 5 on the way from Amazon. Got the World Cup book earlier for £8 and the Group B book for £28, both new and unopened. Slowly getting through the wishlist of books as the wishlist of model cars is getting very thin too

Santa, as they say in Cavan, was a cute hoor.

Anyone have or come across a book by Andrew Cowan called something like "Why finish Last" ?
