from the collection of Michel Grimaldier . Ad said to be showing London to Mexico Triumph 2500 PI Mk2 as driven by Brian Culcheth.
Unfortunately whoever put that add out got it very wrong as Brians car was white and the reg number was XJB 305H and the rally number was 88.
Car 39 was Lloyd-Hurst, Keith Baker and Brian Engalfield. We hope Brian will be at London-Sydney50.
Michel Grimaldier said that the late Alan Crussels offered the original poster to me! It is hanging on my lounge wall.
