Stirling Moss tackles the Stelvio Pass in an MGB | 1989 Classic Marathon Rally

www.dukevideo....
The Pirelli Classic Marathon is a celebration of a Golden Era of British rallying, bringing together an amazing collection of vintage cars for an epic journey across Europe and open to cars over 20 years old.
In 1989, a fantastic line-up of cars and competitors gathered in London for the start of the 2,000-mile event that would cross six countries.
Among the determined drivers were some real stars, including Stirling Moss at the wheel of an MGB, Paddy Hopkirk in a Mini Cooper S, Roger Clarke and co-driver Tony Mason in a Ford Cortina, and Scandinavian World Rally greats Ove Andersson and Timo Makinen.
This review of the 1989 Pirelli Classic Marathon follows the action from London to Italy, via Belgium, Germany, Austria and the former Yugoslavia.

My old 71 B was British Racing Green. Sometimes I wish I still had it. Thanks

[@bramblecino]

I had a 71 as well. God it was slow but it was still fun little car

[@jeffhildreth9244]

@@bramblecino Slow by what standards. It's an 1800 CC engine with 98 HP.

[@bramblecino]

Not really dissing it I had a lot of fun in that car, but it really never had exciting power. I do like slow cars owned several vintage cars that had no “power”

[@eymanyouwell]

@@bramblecino it's not slow at all, you are making it seem like it's a slow hauling morris minor. If you are comparing it to a V8 cobra- sure. But in regards to average consumer cars nowadays, plus similiar cars of it's time period such as the spitfire, mini etc- it is an incredibly light, nimble and fast car.

​@@bramblecinoyou shoulda done what I've done to my 72 BGT, rebuilt the motor to approx 130 HP ... no slows here 😁 it's a blast!

Good..🙂🙂👍👍

[@jeffhildreth9244]

Confusing, who won ? Finns are more closely related ( at least linguistically) to the Hungarians than Swedish, Norwegian or Danish. Also Stirling was hampered by an inefficient navigator. He was way ahead of her?/him?

Co driver was not good. Good thing stirling moss was driving they would be in a wall or off a cliff
