Looking at other sources there seems to be widespread confusion as to the finishing order, though all agree that Harvey/King were the winners.

Can anybody help?

● Ford of Britain has entered

three Escorts for the Hong Kong

Rally taking place on March 3-5.

Two of the RS models will be

driven by Timo Makinen/Henry

Liddon and Roger Clark/Jim

Porter, the third by local man

Gordon Fleming.

 

Mäkinen in Hong Kong

Visiting European drivers were successful at the week-end in

the Rothmans Hong Kong Rally. Outright winners were Timo

Mäkinen and Henry Liddon in an Escort RS (3,609 penalties)

ahead of Roger Clark and Jim Porter (3,953 penalties) in a

similar car. Both were in ex-RAC Rally cars, bought and en-

tered by Harpers of Hong Kong, the local Ford importers.

Motoring News, 9 March 1972, Page 1.

 

Briton wins

Britain's Brian Culcheth,

in a Morris Marina 1.8 TC

Correct.  The car was then used in 1972/3 by, I think, Ford France for Guy Chasseuil on a few events, mostly on the driver-only rallies that were peculiar to France at that time.  Simca built the CG, an open top sports car, specially for these events which were clearly quite important in the French market. 

 

The GT70 proved unreliable and quite what Ford were thinking of to build a superlight and low GT car and then saddle it with the hefty old OHV V6 engine instead of fitting the up to the minute & far lighter 16 valve DOHC BDA, which by then would have been all-alloy and fuel injected, we will never know.  Unless someone here can tell us!  Another of Ford's expensive failures along with the F3L, RS1700T and the RS200 (though that wasn't really their fault!)

"In the early stages Frank Mazet/Jean Todt were going well in

the Ford GT70, lying second to Larousse in the prototype

category, but the mid-engined Boreham car left the road irretriev-

ably on the fourth test at Le Minier."

From vague memory, did Ford France eventually realise this and swap the V6 in the Chasseuil car for a BDA towards the end of the programme?

Tour de France 1971

"The GT70 was a completely new and lighter car entered and serviced by Ford Cologne and driven by Francois Mazet/John Todt."

"Further up the road Mazet clipped a bridge with the GT70 which then spun round into a wall and was badly damaged,"

GERMAN RALLY

Full results of the Weisbaden-German

Rally are appended below. Unfor-

tunately, this was the first of the rallies

to be included in the Grand Touring

Car Manufacturers' Championship,

which now really complicates matters.

It appears that Porsche won the 2-litre

and 1,600 c.c. classes, Alfa Romeo the

1,300 c.c. division and Fiat-Abarth the

1-litre class, but no official confirmation

is available.

RESULTS

1. Bohringer/Kaiser (Mercedes-Benz 300SE), 0 route penalties

2. Glemser/Braungart (Mercedes-Benz 220SE), 0 

3. Andersson/Haggbom (Volvo 122S), 0

4. Gerhards/Henneke (Mercedes-Benz 220SE), 0

5. Koob/Wies (D.K.W. F12), 0

6. Kaufmann/Kling (D.K.W. Junior), 2

7. Knoeppel/Knoeppel (B.M.W. 700S), 6.3

8. Kelleners/Bokmann (Fiat 1300), 9.2

9. Brechler/Brechler (Volvo 122S), 18.6

10. Osterberg/Edenring (Volvo 122S), 22.6.

Autosport, 19 July 1963, Page 82

 

Wiesbaden?

This is complicated - does anybody have a report of this event?

This is a little confusing.  There was a Deutschland Rally in July1963 with the results that you quote.  But there was also the 25th International AvD-Rallye Wiesbaden Deutschland which ran in July 1963 with a different entry list. 

 

The former seems to have counted towards the European Rally Championship Group 2, the latter towards the ERC Group 1.  I am not sure what the distinction was between the two ?   So it sounds like they were run concurrently, although the latter event may have run for an extra day?

Just a periphal matter, but running at #31 on the ERC group 1 part of this rally was Teddy Pilette, co-driven by Pascal Ickx, father of Jacky in a Abarth-Simca 1300.  They retired for some reason.

 

As they were both Belgian, finding them out on rallies shouldn't have been surprise!  It seems to be natural for Belgians to go rallying the moment they get a driving licence!

Pascal is Jacky's brother, His father was Jacques, a journalist who was also a competitor.

You're right, I misread the records, Pascal is Jacky's elder brother.

TWO OF THE three officially entered

Triumph TR3s won their categories in

the recent 3,200 mile American Inter-

national Rally; one, driven by D. Ke-

nedy and A. Thompson, finished first of

the non-American entries, and Denise

McCluggage and Elinor Halmi won the

ladies' prize. First place in the general

classification went to L. Scott and E.

Sparks, in the Rambler, and J. and D.

Spar finished second in a Thunderbird.

The third TR3 ran out of road during

the first night, and landed in a river.

The crew, W. Cronkite and D. Stewart,

spent five hours getting it back to the

road and straightening things up, finally

calling at a garage to have the oil changed.

The mechanic, however, drained the gear-

box by mistake, and omitted to fill it

again—so the car eventually retired with

gear box bearing failure.

Autocar, 6 November 1959, Page 595

 

Walter Cronkite, CBS commentator, was in car #42.

Some fascinating stuff there.   The Vickers (Weybridge) MC presumably ground to a halt when the Brooklands aircraft factory closed.  I never heard of the Ascot, Staines and District MC despite being very much my area - maybe another that fell by the wayside in the late 1960s when its key members left as we discussed in the Chichester MC thread?

 

Stuart Gray - winning navigator in both events - went on success at the highest level as a co-driver, as did M.V.W. Holmes (Martin Holmes) the very tall solicitor and rally journalist/photographer.  I also notice old friends A. (Tony) Straker who rallied a Sebring Sprite in later years (both his sons are still regular and successful rallyists), A. (Tony) Pettie and Peter Noad, the VW fanatic.

 

The winning Allardette was a performance version of the Ford Anglia made by Allard Motor Company with either a Shorrocks supercharged 997cc engine or a Cortina 1500 GT engine dropped in

One reason for the disappearance of motor clubs that were active in the early 60s was the application of the "Chesham Rules" in early 66 - revisions to road rallies arising from the Chesham Report of 65. This introduced significant restrictions which I believe many clubs at the time considered too onerous to continue organising events. With hindsight they were mild compared to the next major changes in 87 and later.

The classic (and briefly homologated under the Appendix J that applied to the end of 65) Allardette used the 1340 Ford engine. Don Barrow's web site includes a good description of the earliest such cars as used by drivers Reg McBride etc. including gluing moulded 997 to 1340 blocks with the casting marks ground off.
