![]() ![]() The car actually lives in France with Dad, I live in Germany and this is our third visit to the Eifel Rallye Festival, which we absolutely love. Formula 1 driver Jo Schlesser and his co-driver Claude Le Guezec brought the other one home in 11th place that year. That was one of two cars entered by Ford France. HS: Yes, not of the Ljungfeldt car, but of its sister car, in which French crew Henry Greder and Martial Delalande finished the ’64 Monte in 19th place. RS: I have simply no idea how he drove it around those narrow mountain roads in the snow. He was fastest on every stage, but because of the handicap advantage given to smaller cars, the event was won by Paddy Hopkirk in a Mini Cooper S. Swedish race and rally driver Bo Ljungfeldt almost won the event. ![]() RS: Under a Ford contract, Alan Mann Racing in the UK prepared eight Falcon Sprints for the 1964 Monte Carlo rally. At least because it is unique we always get an entry on events.ĪF: Tell us about the history, if you would. But we also meet folk who know a lot about it, and how it was rallied in the ’60s. ![]() A lot of people do ask us what it is – some think it is a Zodiac or a Zephyr. Helen Sinclair: It’s a 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint, the ancestor of the Ford Mustang if you like, which came out later in 1964 using the same platform but with a more sporty body. It cost around another £1,000 to bring it back to the UK, but even so that still made it a very affordable classic car.ĪF: I’ve never seen one before in the metal, at least not as a rally car. and it cost me $5,000, which was the equivalent of £2,500 back then. I bought it in 1990, when the prices of old cars were going through the roof. This increases the total efficiency of the A/C System by making the vehicle interior cooler much faster than other systems on the market.Ron Sinclair: The honest answer is because it was cheap to buy. By using separate coils we improve the cooling and heating capacity of the total system. It comes equipped with carefully sized, large, separate A/C and Heat coils just like factory (OE) systems, not combined A/C, Heat coils often found on aftermarket systems.
