Vic Elford himself was also at the show, signing copies of his new book. On the outdoor arena, legends of the sport such as Mich\u00e8le Mouton, Stig Blomqvist, Bjorn Waldegard, Russell Brookes and Pentti Airikkala thrilled the crowds driving Group B rally cars on the tarmac stage.<\/p>\n

One of the exhibits attracting enormous attention was a pre-war Alfa Romeo on Jim Stokes stand with the rear end looking very tank-like as it was track driven! No one present claimed to have ever seen one before!<\/p>\n
