VANGUARDS HISTORIC RALLY SET




This superb 2-piece set features rally versions of the Allardette Anglia and the Mini Cooper S, both of which are sponsored by Lledo PLC.

The Allardette Anglia is a 1964 version with a race-tuned 1500cc engine. It took two years and £30k to be built by owner/driver Martin Fox. Martin who has been driving for five years, and hos co-driver Kate Honey take part in rallies all over Europe as part of the Motoring News Demon Tweeks Historic Championship, which is the largest of its kind in the world.

The Mini Cooper S, co-driven by Sam Sullivan, is owned and driven by Stella Morris who had it specially built from scratch up to rally specification at of £20k. Both teams have achieved enormous success, perhaps this is due to the winning male/female combination of each team. The Allardette is currently a top ten car in the Championship.
