XXII Liège-Rome-Liège, August 1952: This 1500S Cabriolet was a Spanish entry by José M. de Caralt and L. Blesa, the latter being the private 'chauffeur' of de Caralt who also did most of the driving during this event. At the Rome control, turning point of the rally, this Spanish team collected only 670 penalty points which wasn't bad compared with, for instance, Fraikin/Gendebien who at this point already had 3676 penalty points! However, the Spanish Porsche ended in a ditch near the Comagoi control, luckily without injury to driver or navigator. Photo Copyright CorsaResearch
