Product Information:
The Monte Carlo Rally was the only rally that made the papers in its heyday. Hundreds of entrants, in cars of all shapes and sizes battle through mid winter snow, fog, ice and darkness from far flung starting points to the magical principality of Monaco.
In this book every Monte Carlo Rally held between 1911 and 1980 is covered individually with results listings and route maps. As the years unfold we see the successes of Hotchkiss in the late 1940's, Sunbeam-Talbot in the early 1950's, Mini Cooper in the 1960's, Porsche 911 in the late '60s, and the dominance of Alpine Renault and Lancia Stratos in the 1970's.
Written by the world's leading rally historian, Grahm Robson, and featuring more than 300 archive photographs, this book provides both the definitive history of the greatest motor rally of all time and an evocative view of a golden age of motoring history.
