Great to see this. My dad was working for a VW dealer in NZ in 1956. They used this film for VW promotion. I was about 9 yrs.

Great film. Makes most of today's classic car rallies look like a walk in the park.

Very enjoyable! Great footage. As a kid growing up at the time, these trials were incredible and exciting events. We were starved of coverage. Before TV in Australia! So it was radio, print media, newsreels, word of mouth.
