Hi all,

Hoping you can help.
Yesterday at the Essen classic show I purchased this grill badge.

Picture

I know nothing about this rally, if it took place, what year, what cars participated etc... Very intriguing to me from multiple aspects.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Elad

Looks like one of the Tour d'Europe events. This German website has details of all the winners, but the badge doesn't match the few years they have special features on: http://www.tourdeuro...com/index2.html

There's a similar ADAC badge on eBay - item# 300821011187

No disrespect to any from there, but why Watford?? It has no particular motorsport or motoring connections AFAIK?

Maybe it was more a test for the Navigators....I dropped off my hire car there once, and the one-way system defeated the GPS and my sense of direction comprehensively....when I reached my destination I was told "you are not the first to get lost around here! we get that a lot!" :confused:
