Eastern Counties Motor Club Historic Cine Archive: (001) 1958 Liege - Brescia - Liege Rally (500cc)
Limited to cars of a maximum of 500cc, this lovely period piece shows central Europe at a time which was very different from today. we follow the Berkeley works team from Lydd airport in Kent on to Le Touquet before making their way to Belgium.
In amongst the Fiat Abarths, Zundapps and odd bubble cars are two unusual - and very attractive - U.M.A.P bodied Citroen 2CVs. These are numbers 11 & 36 and painted blue and well worth looking out for.
During the rally, cleaning neither the car or the camera seemed to be a priority. In a strange kind of way this adds to the enjoyment of this film.

one of my cars startet with Number 24, Berkeley STM 982 . It was on first place until yugoslavia, then towed Number 18 over to hills- than head gasket was gone 😞
A wonderful film. My Isetta went into the paintshop today. It'll be Sandbeige, the same colour as the Isetta in the film. Moss and Wisdom must have entered this event a week after competing in the Alpine Rally July 1958. My mum competed against them many times.

So will you be rallying the Isetta? Peter. Please could you be so kind as to forward the link to any micro-car club you may belong to.

@@easterncountiesmotorclubhi1529 I'll post on various Facebook clubs I belong to. As to rallying it. Yes if possible. My next struggle will be getting the man who stated the resto & gave up to agree to put it all back togerher.
My imaginary sound track had a background of screaming two-strokes, labouring mightily against the odds...but I failed to imagine what was going on at 6.14...kzread.info/dash/bejne/iH9ppct6dKbQpMo.html any ideas?

I am sure it was all very innocent!
