Thank Alan! This was my report about it. Well if you ask me, and you did. It is perhaps the same car as shown in my attachment. ‘My’ car where used in 1974 by Schuler and Weitman in the Hugenotten Ralley, they have the same wheels arches as ‘your’ car. The mirrors are gone but the deck plates are instead. But if they used it in 73, the 'my' 74 car must be right!!!!

The 2003 Kenya Airways East African Safari Rally started 10 December from beneath the famous elephant tusks on Moi Avenue, Mombasa. The tusks were originally built to commemorate the visit of Princess Margaret in 1953, and have recently been refurbished to their former glory and re-opened by the Earl and Countess of Wessex in July last year.

Hi guys, I will be fun! Last night ‘German’ Rainer (member of this group), join “the mountain climbers”. He even knew a fellow Z driver in Frankurt. In a short wile, ‘Spanish’ Symon will join the group as well. A very international gang!! Even Alan T is thinking of it, aren’t you? We will keep you posted. The pic was indeed from eBay, yeh we watch the whole world……

sorry guys, Rainer you got a PM! read.

By the time I get my paycheck next January, I’ll bid £400. I think they will make a good look on my car instead of the 280ZX cross rims.

Yes, it was marvellous to see Datsun number one lead the field all the way. We did it several times before so why should it chance. :classic: If you look at the photo’s you can dream 30 years backwards, lovely… Great shot the number 1 plate. You chanced you avatar as well is that the no 5 almost hitting a gendarme?:tapemouth

This is the closest club near your http://membres.lycos.fr/clubzen/index.html Sean and Fred, the committee, are members of this internet forum as well.

He Symon, You must be a lucky man, there aren’t much Z’s in Spain is it? I have a feelling this Z must be yours then. Let me give you all an up date about the tour. The dates have been chanced, it is now from May 28th until June 6th. In the weekend of May 28 / 30, one of the Swiss clubs will hold a meeting. The intention is to get to gather Friday evening the 28th , have a nice weekend with our Swiss friends and drive downwards, to the direction Monaco, the next Monday. There will be many high mountains, steep hill climbs, very nice (old) villages, lovely surroundings. If you mail me your mail address I’ll put you on my little mail list of mountain climbers. And have fun with your car!

DRIVER QUOTES – DAY 10 2. Bruce Field/Jan Thoenes – EAK/EAK – Porsche 911 “I’m really glad all the overseas competitors have enjoyed the rally. I think some came with a degree of negativity towards the country, but they’ll be back. To be able to share our country has been wonderful. Jan has also never finished a Safari and he’s completely wrapped! To see others finish for the first time is also wonderful and the feeling on the beach was very special and really wound the clock back.” 3. Michele Mouton/Ana Goni – F/YV – Ford Escort “Apart from our problems in the first day, it’s been great. We had no chance of victory, no fight, but we were here to see East Africa and that’s why we carried on. There was no question of withdrawing at all; it is still fun to drive fast over some wonderful sections. It was very tough, but extremely well organised and nice to come to Kenya. This rally is very special; the open roads, dust and the rough roads. There is no comparison to anything in the world; it is unique.” 5. Alastair Cavenagh/Carl Tundo – EAK/EAK – Ford Escort “We’re happy to finish, but it’s a bit disappointing as the car’s not what it was supposed to be. When we had clean runs we were either first or second in the sections and we should have been able to give Rob more of a run for his money. It’s not been as tough as in the olden days, but it’s given us a feel for what it was like. I’m glad to have been competing two decades later though!” 6. Iain Freestone/Rod MacLean – GB/GB – Ford México “I’m very pleased, it was fantastic! It was a hard and traumatic rally for us, but we’re well pleased for our first outing in Africa. It was a lot tougher than I expected, but I fancy doing it all over again tomorrow! Rod’s not done so badly either; it’s only his second event as a navigator!” 7. Ray Bellm/Pasquale Lanzante – GB/I – Ford Escort “We’ve just been preserving the car today to get to the finish.” 9. Wolfgang Pfeiffer/Peter Knoebel – D/D – Porsche 911 “A fantastic rally, very very nice; very tough, but good. We’re happy to be here, especially as it is the first time I have done the Safari. We’re looking forward to the next one now!” 14. Richard Martin-Hurst/Tony Devantier – GB/NZ – Rover V8 “We had a broken main rear spring after the first section today and then realised at the start of the second that all the front suspension was hanging off. It was too dangerous to carry on so we drove non-competitively to the finish. We’re pleased to be at the end, but it’s obviously disappointing to have missed the last two sections; the only ones we’ve missed all event. It’s an old car, but it held up well; it’s not really built for these conditions.” 16. Anthony Ward/Mark Solloway – GB/GB – Ford Escort “We were put off when we saw John Lloyd’s accident and have been taking it easy today.” 21. Brian Barton/Chris Fryer – EAK/EAK – Peugeot 504 “Yesterday’s leg was the best rallying of the event; we also really enjoyed Uganda but Tanzania was even better, real Safari routes. The roads in Kenya have deteriorated, some are real car-breakers and don’t necessarily demand driving skill. The event has been superb but we’d love to have been on the first page of the results!” 25. Paul-Eric Jarry/Craig Redelinghuys – F/ZA – Porsche 911 “We’ve just very quietly been getting to the finish today!” 27. Chris Angel/Mike Bowen – EAK/EAK – Datsun 1600SSS “We’ve had prop-shaft and suspension problems, but it’s great to be at the finish, that’s what matters. I grew up watching this event and am so so happy to be here. Nothing can describe the feelings I have at the moment.” 33. Roddy Sachs/Geoff Bell – D/GB – Alfa Romeo 2000 “Yesterday we broke a ‘donut’ between the gearbox and prop-shaft and had to make a part from bits the Mercedes crew gave us. We skipped the last two sections but it’s been a fantastic experience and the organisation has been great.” 38. Marzio Kravos/Renzo Bernardi – EAK/EAK – Mercedes 200 “The objective was to get to the finish; we spent very little money and just had fun. We had an unfortunate second day when we blew the engine and got a six hour penalty, but it was re-built in Nairobi and we’ve made it.” 47. Richard Pugh/Liz Pugh – GB/GB – Volvo 122S “We’re very pleased to be here but disappointed not to have done more of the competitive sections. There’s a certain sense that we’ve not done the rally, but it’s been a great adventure and our first time in Africa; wonderful.” 48. Peter Banham/Bettyann Banham – GB/GB – Mercedes 220SE “It’s great to have finished; we’ve buried another demon! Second time round we’ve done it; it was a tall order though!” 50. Paul Maaskant/Peter Stone – NL/EAK – Austin Healey 3000 “In the last section today we had the scariest moment of the rally. At 140kph the wheel came off and overtook us.”
