Ann Wisdom and Pat Moss with their Austin A40, 1959
During the
1950s and ‘60s, the Coupe des Dames was considered important enough for
manufacturer teams, such as Rootes and BMC, to field ladies’ crews on the Monte,
in the hope of winning. As rallying progressed towards being more of a
speed-based than navigational discipline in the 1960s, the prize still kept its
cachet. During this time, Pat Moss was the driver to beat, often challenging
for outright wins as well as ladies’ prizes. Part 1 Part 3
