Marcel Chichak's webpage and project for the Shell 4000 rally has been so fantastic and upped the prominence of that event that I'm curious about the remaining orphans.
I just got a rally plate for the 1957 International 1000 Rally, organized I think by the MG Car Club New England chapter. I gather this was quite a significant event as well - 1000 miles, and international as it ran through Canada too.
I came near to buying a strengthened Saab 96 that was thought to be delivered to Homer Troter(sp?) a NE Saab dealer who ran the Canadian Winter too. Legend was he did well on the International 1000.
And on the Canadian Winter: I have some Road and Track articles, and rally plates from 1961 and 1968. I think that Roger Clark was on the 1968 version. And Doug Woods on 1970?
BTW Marcel, I just ran across a web page for works Mins that says GRX 5D was on the 1968 Shell 4000, but I don't know with who. That car was one of the most used of all works Mins - that was its 12th rally.
So, any info on the International 1000 or more on the Canadian Winter.
