This photograph, taken by LAT Images on November 17, 1973, immortalizes the determination and skill of rally driving legend Hannu Mikkola and his navigator John Davenport during the iconic RAC Rally. The image finds them at the helm of their Ford Escort RS 1600 Mk1, a formidable machine of the era, as they navigate a challenging and muddy stage. The pair, dressed in their racing gear, are intently focused on the road ahead, their expressions a testament to the intense concentration required to master the twists and turns of the rally course. The Ford Escort RS 1600 Mk1, with its distinctive orange and blue livery, is caked in mud, a clear indication of the grueling conditions they have faced. The background is filled with a sea of trees, their leaves changing colors with the onset of autumn, adding a picturesque backdrop to this moment of rallying history. Mikkola and Davenport went on to finish the RAC Rally in an impressive second place, cementing their place in the annals of motorsport history.
