Monte Carlo Hisorique - Paisley Press Launch - 22 October
Report by Douglas Anderson
 "Veteran
navigator Willy Cave jetted into Glasgow to be present at the Press
Launch for the 2016 Rallye Monte Carlo Historique. Willy was
delighted to be reunited with a 1950's London taxi, brought along by
its owner Alan Brown, similar to one in which he competed in the 1961
Monte Carlo Rallye with racing driver Tony Brookes and Peter
Dimmock.
On 27 January 2016 another London taxi will
once again set of for Monte Carlo, this time crewed by a Belgian team,
led by Jean-Marie Hermann who came over from Belgium to be present at
the press launch. He was delighted to meet the legendary Willy
Cave and to look over Alan's taxi. Also on display was the
immaculate and very nippy A35 owned by Richard and Fiona LaMotte who
are taking part in the inaugural Rallye Monte Carlo Classique, starting
from John O'Groats on the morning of 27 January 2016 and also driving
all the way to Monte Carlo.
The Press Launch was graced with a
sunny autumn day which showed off the cars to their best
advantage. The posse of photographers, cameramen and journalists
all jostled with each other to get the best angles and best quotes, but
the pick of the day must be when Willy, resplendent in Bowler Hat, held
up his umbrella and called out "Taxi to Monte Carlo!".
