No, in first place they are there to stop water coming over the car. If you drive into waterhole, the splash comes normally over the car too. All for better visibility.
Don't throw stones at the drivers.... Just like modern day Ghetto Projects. You can take the Blacks our of African but you can't take the African out of the Blacks.. ;/
Thanks so much for this upload. Its really brought some good memories of watching these cars drive. When I was a child, I lived in Nairobi and remember watching these cars drive out of Nairobi and sometimes drive past my house. I remember all the names that have been menioned o here and more as well.
Stupid kenyans spoiled the rally, i remember we used to drive to watch these cars and hear stories about being them robbed and stonned stupid kenyans (i`m kenyan too)
That's why they spray the hood black. To stop the monkeys throwing stones at the car.

that datsun at 2:50 looks so awesome, are those blades under the lights meant for killing bystanders or animals that get in the way?

I can't make out the Polish guy's name (Porsche). Frances Zada?
Excellent old footage. Would love to have been there (born three years later).
