Lots of SAAB footage, focussed on the 2 works cars, both listed as 96 Sport: - #28 Erik Carlsson/Gunnar Palm, P44308, finished 2nd - #17 Pat Moss (AKA Mrs Carlsson, and Stirling's sister)/Joy Mayers, P44309, finished 9th and 2nd in Ladies Cup - plus another local entry private 96, #32 Keith Mayers/FJ Potter, KAY 70, finished 19th. KAY plate was early 50s, so much older than car. I wonder if Keith Mayers had any connection with Pat Moss's co-driver ... (1)#28 Carlsson/Palm ![[Image: 03-27saab96sportcarlssonb.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/03-27saab96sportcarlssonb.jpg) ![[Image: 03-27saab96sportcarlssonc.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/03-27saab96sportcarlssonc.jpg) ![[Image: 03-27saab96sportcarlssond.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/03-27saab96sportcarlssond.jpg) ![[Image: 03-27saab96sportcarlssone.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/03-27saab96sportcarlssone.jpg) ![[Image: 03-27saab96sportcarlssonf.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/03-27saab96sportcarlssonf.jpg) Carlsson then gets stuck - /vehicle_401220-SAAB-Sport-96-1964.html - and has to roll his car over to get out of the mud - an incident which is relevant again later. He also drowns the engine in this waterhole, so Younghusband/Hechle in Cortina #4 stop to help and tow him back to life ![[Image: 03-27saab96sportcarlssong.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/03-27saab96sportcarlssong.jpg) ![[Image: 03-27saab96sportcarlssonh.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/03-27saab96sportcarlssonh.jpg) ![[Image: 03-27saab96sportcarlssonj.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/03-27saab96sportcarlssonj.jpg) ![[Image: 03-27saab96sportcarlssonk.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/03-27saab96sportcarlssonk.jpg) ![[Image: 03-27saab96sportcarlssonl.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/03-27saab96sportcarlssonl.jpg) ![[Image: 03-27saab96sportcarlssonm.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/03-27saab96sportcarlssonm.jpg) Then after prize giving etc (he seems to have got a lot of pots for finishing 2nd  ), Carlsson re-enacts for the cheering crowds how he rolled the car over to get out of the mud![[Image: 03-27saab96sportcarlssonn.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/03-27saab96sportcarlssonn.jpg) ![[Image: 03-27saab96sportcarlssonp.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/03-27saab96sportcarlssonp.jpg) ... which is famous footage we've got re-used in a few films.

Only just read that Erik Carlsson passed away in the last week, shortly after a fall at his home in Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, UK. Very sad news  for those that followed rallying in the 1960s...RIP Erik Carlsson March 5 1929 - May 27 2015 |
