A last-day turnaround meant that a Subaru Impreza was the overall winner of the epic London to Cape Town Rally from a Toyota Hilux, but there were no major upsets among the classics in the final throes of the event.
The Porsche 911 of Joost van Cauwenberge and Jacques Castelein came home an astonishing third overall, while the 912 of Alastair Caldwell ad Hayden Burvill – complete with bucket air scoop – was sixth.
Next classic to finish was the 1970 Volvo 144 of Atherton and Henchiz in ninth, three spots ahead of the same vintage Datsun 510 of Pickering and Boddy.
First of seven Peugeots to reach Cape Town was the 1972 504 of Chriqui and Thiolat in 15th.
There were range of class awards, but classics unsurprisingly featured a lot in the special awards.
