LOCAL MEN WHO TACKLED THE BIG RALLY Two local competitors who took part in the Monte Carlo Rally experienced some trouble with their cars but both had otherwise successful trips. Mr. Richard Davis, of Leigh Farm, Pensford, driving Sunbeam was placed 89th in the lists after reaching Monte Carlo and thus just qualified to take part in the final mountain circuit reserved for the first 90 cars. Earlier on the trip he and his companions, Mr. Jan Lewis, of Stoke Bishop, and Mr.

Julian Flook, of Kingswood, had successfully effected a temporary repair to the car's dynamo which had come loose, but in the mountain circuit the dynamo again became loose and spoilt their chances of higher place.
