The Daily Mirror World Cup Rally from London to Mexico was the longest, roughest, richest event of its kind in the history of motor sport. Ninety-six cars set out from Wembley Stadium. Six weeks and 16,000 miles later, 23 dented, dirt-covered survivors reached the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City with a British Ford Escort driven by Hannu Mikkola and Gunnar Palm outright winners of the £10,000 first prize.
