Herald Coupé – Rally Car

1961 and Geoff Mabbs wins the Tulip rally outright. Here a photograph taken upon arrival at Canley to celebrate his win and show off the silverware. Overall rally win and class win.
The car was a private entry run by Geoff Mabbs and Leslie Griffiths from Bristol however, works assistance was given en route by the Standard Triumph rally department based at Allesley.
