Daimler Conquest in 1955 Monte Carlo Rally

Post by migray »

This weekend I took part in an "Economy" run in the Cotswolds in my DJ254. The event was won by John Jenkinson in his Daimler V8 250
Taking the official photographs was Robert Grounds who told me that his mother, Lola Grounds, took part in the Monte Carlo in 1955 driving a Daimler Conquest. There are some photos on his Flickr page


There are some British Pathe clips of this event showing brief glimpses of the car.
