  • as a musician on chusan, we took the cars from bombay to freemantle - i remember andrew cowan well, spending quite a bit of time in his company and that of the austalians returning home - the years before the 747 took over

  • The race was all but won by Bianchi and Ogier. 98 miles from Sydney, with Ogier at the wheel and Bianchi dozing in the front seat, the Citroen hit a Mini head on in a section of road that was supposed to be closed to the public. The DS 21 was wrecked and Bianchi was badly injured.

    Paddy Hopkirk arrived on the scene in his Austin 1800 and promptly threw up any chance of winning the rally by turning round and going for help.

    Andrew Cowan went for the prize.
