Group 2, The Genesis Of World Rallying by Book

Weight 2.3kg by John Davenport
International rallying evolved massively throughout the 1950s and 1960s, moving from a pastime for adventurous gentlefolk on to the professional sport that we know today. The cars changed too but during the period covered in this excellent book they remained close to production models with just a few modifications to adapt to the specific events. John Davenport had a long career in the sport and was active from the late 1950s onwards, as co-driver, driver and team manager, so is the perfect man to take us through this fascinating period. The photos have been drawn from the extensive McKlein archives and there are results from all major events during the period covered.
