You often poke around in the dark when it comes to the history of rallying. Hemmo Vriend had a red Ford Falcon and wanted to prepare it for the 2024 Eifel Rallye Festival. But was there ever a red one? He was even able to speak to Lee Holman on the phone, who had prepared the rally Falcons with the company Holman&Moody in the 1960s; he also only remembered white and a blue one, red had later been Alan Mann's circuit Falcons. So Hemmo decided to repaint the Falcon in the original white colour from 1964. Mehr >

Christian Jupsin bought this car in 2019 from the previous owner from the south of France where it was also driven by Francoise Delecour on some events. It was in good original condition but needs quite a bit of preparation to get it up and running as it was not driven for years. For the Eifel Rallye Festival, he hands over this Ford to his friend Bruno Thiry for a few stages - after all, Bruno also drove this Ford in 1995. Mehr >

After its factory history, this Corolla drove with Matos Chaves Pedro in Portugal, then in the Netherlands before it went to England and Ireland where it drove until 2014. Then Ernst Kopp and Helmut Steiner took over the Toyota as a kind of souvenir because they both worked at TTE at the time and also built it there. However, a complex restoration was necessary. For the Eifel Rallye Festival, Helmut Steiner hands over the steering wheel of this Corolla to Marcus Grönholm. Mehr >
