Looking for old 1970's 911 Belgium rallye photo's. Roger Engels.

[stretch]

As the title says. I am trying to find some old 911 photo's of early 911's that participated in rallye events in the 1970's in Belgium. One of the drivers was, Roger Engels.

I have searched high and low via google with no joy.

So, any help would be much appreciated. Maybe one of our Belgium members can recommend some good rallye forums that i could try in there country.

Thanks

A lot of rallies in the early 70's were club rallies.
organised by the local "raceteams" like in Leuven, Scuderia Lovaniensis.
It will be hard to find pictures of this on the internet. Participants of these rallies have received "official"pictures of their starts or spectaculairs drifts.
I've put some old ones up in a race and rally thread and a kind of "this must be belgium thread"
national and international Belgian rallies you can find some stuff on the French car sites.
do you have any extra info?, where he lived or so, or what championship he was in?

Thanks for the reply guys. Hgo, all i have at the moment is, the car started out, Yellow in colour. Now, i don't know if it remained so. It was a pre-73 but, again this could have been forward dated. It was called "Le Granny" due to the car still competing some 10-12 years after it's build date. I assume that is rare for a rally car. Roger Engels is a resident in Brussells.

The last date i have for it competing is, 1981. I am a frequent visitor to the French forums, but i have not found any info as yet.

Any recommendations for any good Belgium rally forums ?
Thanks

Dave
