Does anyone have the actual dates of the following 1961 French rallies, and how the Morgan Plus 4 of Guy Savoye finished in the results?

Rallye de Picardie
Rallye de Touquet
Rallye de la Baule
Rallye de Flandres-Hainaut

Thanks

Was Guy Savoye the son of Jaques Savoye who was the French Morgan importer ?

Yes, Jacques had two sons, Guy and Claude who both competed in rallies.
I have little information on the rallies they took part in with Morgans, especially dates.
All help appreciated.

I have mai 7 for the Rallye de Picardie. I am not sure it was a one day event, but that's a start to look further in period press.

Guy Savoye raced an AC Bristol in the 1000km's at Nurburgring 1963.
