1000 Lakes Rally 1974/ Jari Vilkas- Juhani Soini
Pohjola- ralli 1975. Finish Championship rally which Antero Laine won with ACN-403. Jari Vilkas drove out with his AEU-503 as well as Tapio Rainio with AEC-501 (finished 16th overall), and Simo Lampinen´s fuel injected AEU-502 had bad lucky when crank broken.
After Works Team-period Antero Laine bought the car and asked to join famous Nortti Rally Club. Here is article of Team´s new caloured cars.
Nortti Rally Club has also tailor made club jackets ! They were used in prize giving ceremony.
Hole Team was well organized and North State sponsored rally cup for young drivers.
Before start to Marlboro Artic rally 1976, near by Artic Sircle.
Rantaralli 1976
Mänttä 200- rally 1976. Front of ACN-403 is Works Skoda, probably driven by Markku Saaristo.
After Antero Laine, ACN-403 was droven by Markku Reinikainen who get with the car also membership to Nortti Rally Team.
Markku Drove well with the car and here example third overall and class winner in Kymen Jääralli which was special rally because all the Special Stages were over several frozen lakes.
Rally sprint event, third position class over 1600 cc group 4.
Roll over. Unknown event and what happened for the car after that.
There is 20 years little bit unknown period before the car was founded in last minute before it went to the yank yard and final smelter. Last years the car has used as a ”Jokkisauto” or swedish version ”Folkrace”- car ( some kind of stock car/common rally cross class in Finland). This class has destroyed a lot of group 2 and 4 legendary rallycars in Finland. I really like to see if this old Works Saab shine someday as it should to do.
Last minute saving late 90´s.
FIN: onko sinulla kuvia kyseisestä autosta 80- ja 90 luvuilta ? auto ollut viimeksi rallikäytössä 80- luvun lopussa ja siirtynyt sieltä sprintin kautta jokkikseen. Tässä viimeinen kisa-asu.
