Corgi Classics - Drive Time / Vanguards |
1959 was a transitional year for the RAC Rally, Jack Kemsley had taken charge for the first time, reduced the emphasis on driving tests and changed the date to November. Sixteen foreign crews had entered and the route they faced was a tough one, starting in the Scottish highlands, going through Wales and finishing in London. The Braemer pass was blocked by snow on the first day and those crews that chose to divert west on to the A9 were the ones that got through, which effectively decided the rally’s results. Wolfgang Levy, a German entrant in a DKW, put in a protest, claiming that the blocked road section should be scrubbed from the rally. This was eventually rejected by the FIA, some weeks after the event, so the Burgess/Croft-Pearson Zephyr modelled here was declared the winner.
