HENRI driving Talbot Sunbeam Lotus

[ponti151075]

impressionnant de constater que, en même tps que de piloter, Toivonen a encore le temps d'analyser les virages pour les dicters à son copilote, il était vraiment doué, rip mr Toivonen

I looked on that site and found no mention of the full film, I would love to get that if I could. If I could get some more information on this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks very much.

Brilliant video! Just signed up to say that I can confirm the co-driver to be Antero Lindqvist as he has a very strong finnish accent on his speach. I know becouse im of a finnish origin.

Fred Gallagher is in the co-driver's seat; if you listen carefully you can hear him calling the notes (and Henri making comments too). This clip is from a Talbot film whose copyright is owned by PSA Peugeot-Citroen and is available exclusively through the Sunbeam Lotus Owners' Club.

Thanks.

Enjoying it myself too ;) I might place a new Group B video on Youtube. I've still got a lot of footage you know..

[Josti88]

Yeah it's pretty amazing they already did that in those years with all those camera views. Know it's very common. Especially in WRC..

BTW, The codriver is either Fred Gallagher or Antero Lindqvist I think.

Might be but its hard to tell who it is in the video with the helmet covering the face on the co-driver. by the way that group b pure sound video was great ,hope you post more of thoese group b rally videos.

[otacon98]

Its amazing how they got those inside the car images where you see toivonen and his unknown co-pilot that are in the video, how did they do that?

[Josti88]

Yes, from 1980 till late ´81. After that he went to Opel.

[Wargr]

I think it was 1980-1981..

[otacon98]

Between what years did toivonen drive for the talbot rally team?

[Josti88]

Love it!
