Ferrari 308 GTB - 1984, Gr. B - Claudio Missaglia/Hans van Goor


This Ferrari 308 GTB was built by Jan Nijhof, a former successful Dutch rally driver. Jan is known for excellence in building rally cars. After years of track racing, Claudio Missaglia wanted to try rallying as well and bought the 308 GTB of Jan as it was so irresistibly well built. In 2024 Claudio started in rallying in the Dutch Historic Championships. To have some mercy with the Ferrari, he used an Opel Manta GTE that was also built by Jan. Mehr >

Ford Falcon Sprint GT - 1964, Gr. 1 - Hemmo Vriend/


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 >
