1959 Monte Carlo Rally

[graham m]

Does anyone have a copy of Le Rallye Monte Carlo by Maurice Louche? I am interested to know if any other details are given about car 206, 948 Fairthorpe Electron Minor, reg UPP83 entered by Don and Ly Bennett?

Specifically any other details that may identify the actual car would be greatefully received.

Thanks

Graham

Great info, thanks.
This is from Autosport 1959 where it mentions the Rochdale. Sadly I don't have the photo of it, it's probably the one listed above from Stamford Revs archives.
Co-driver Jack Hay was motoring correspondent for The Birmingham Post. His daughter was Richard Burton's last wife.

Off topic but for interest here's another unusual car on the 1953 Monte, same crew.
