I'm trying to find info on any Works Team Support Vehicles used to service and back up the Works Minis on the Monte Carlo Rallies in the mid 1960s. Anyone have any idea what was used? Pics would be great!

Thanks.

Have a pic of the 1967 winner

The main service car was the Austin Princess 4-litre'R' which was the old Westminster shape with the Rolls-Royce 4-litre engine. It was not an estate car and they were nicknamed 'barges' by the crews.
The book to get is the 'BMC Competition Department' by Bill Price. You should find a oopy on ebay or Amazon. It's a good read with lots of detail about the Healeys, Minis, A40's and Minors, etc, plus a record of all the works competition achievements all set out in chronological order with loads of photos.
