I was at that rally too Rob, aged 5.
We have the booklet here and some of the entry forms, including the sporting event scores. If yours is amongst them I will post up.
The BA7C took some cine film of the event, which was converted to DVD some years back, the highlight is Ray Stevens in his Nippy/Chummy. He appears from the left at lightening speed, enters the driving test garage and rams the car into reverse before it has even begun to come to a halt. The axle tramp is extraordinary.
Ray (and Phyllis) then went on to complete a tour of Scotland and back home to Wiltshire in the car breaking only 6 crankshafts, quite a low number for him at that time.
