The record

The entries are listed on Dakardantan, the rally’s period archive, with their crews: Turcat and De Araujo in a long Cournil and Guillot and Pradeau in a short one in both 1979 and 1980. The Portuguese UMM team entered alongside them from 1982.

Research status: draft — identification, dates or figures could not all be pinned down; the summary says what is unresolved.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
