Special Selective - The Clan Crusader Rally Story

RALLY CLUB

Show Notes

A bonus RALLY CLUB Easter Egg - join Paul Woodford for the story of the Clan Crusader’s factory rally exploits.

In 1972, a relatively unknown sports car would line up for the start of the Manx Rally, ready to begin a story that would cement the rally pedigree of the Clan Crusader.

Andy Dawson would come second behind Roger Clark on the Manx, with Alan Conley taking the second of the Clan factory cars to victory on the Tour of Mull.

The Clan Motor Company’s rally adventure may have been short-lived, but it’s an underdog story that will make you see this lightweight seventies GT car in a different light.
