dsl ◊ 2014-12-14 14:07	Probably 1968 1000 Lakes #41 Lars-I.Ytterbring/Lars Persson, retired - compare /vehicle.php?id=757098 . But there is no works car listed with xxx 431F plates and does not have BMC rosette stickers or some other features of that link, so probably a private entry with works encouragement - Ytterbring was sometimes used as a reserve works driver in 68 - eg Scottish Rally, 2nd place. However some sources say he drove ORX 777F on 68 1000 Lakes. So a bit confusing for exact circumstances, but ID is solid. Looks LHD - maybe BMC lent Ytterbring a semi-works car for Scandinavian rally series in 68??
