A tribute to Pentti who passed away recently on september 30th 2009. He became famous by driving a Vauxhall Chevette in the 1977 british rally championship. In 1979 he clinched the title. RIP rally legend.
Pentti gave it plenty in his chevette once he passed myself and my brother we were sitting in my chevette with lamp brackets rally gaints he gave us a big smile and funds up fram rally 1990 rip pennti
I was a Chevette HSR owner & a club rally competitor with my then wife in our Manta powered Kadett Coupe, met Pentti & had a good chat at a meeting, a charming gentleman !
Great guy, great driver. Always at full chat always fully committed.Trudging miles into a freezing wet Forrest in the middle of the night all made worth wile for the few moments of noise smell and sight of the man and machine in action.
