I wonder did Yves ever compete on the Tour of Ypres rally?

A true enthusiast, RIP!
My condolences to Ria and his children. What were the exact words of Bruce McLaren? "To die, doing something one loves, cannot be foolhardy", or something to that effect. May it be of comfort to you all.

you had a great taste in cars, especially the Alpine used in 1980, I often saw them on continental trips in the early '70s, such a fast and pretty car.
Thats the one that caught my eye immediately. I used to race against one of those, the Archer Brothers had one or something similar. It was really fast but nobody ever knew if it was legal because we had never seen one.

I cannot remember the year, I think it was 1973, this car was the one that took the honours in the World Rally Championship, 1600 c.c. Renault (16) pushrod, twin sidedraught 40/45 DCOE Webers and a light slippery GRP body, they were the class of the field. Jean Luc Therier, Ove Andersson, Jean Pierre Nicholas, all drove these cars to great effect, and one Jean Todt, used to occupy the co-drivers seat. A great car, IMHO, the best ever to wear a Renault badge Yves was so lucky to have the lovely example he used, and to have used it in anger

This car you all like very much is the car we wanted to buy
when Yves had stopped hillclimbing.
We wanted to have a nice time and to win(of course) some historic rallys together!

Ria, look at the 4th thread from the top "How To Post Your Images/Photos", this might offer some assistance.
