Acropolis Rally amateur video footage and photographs from 1978 – 1986

Below is a collection of amateur videos covering the Acropolis Rally from 1978 up until 1986, very much a golden period in rallying history.

The videos clearly illustrate how rallying technology evolved at a very rapid rate from conventional Group 4 machinery through to the insane Group B racing machines. We can see from the winners list that this classic rally was won by the sport's heavyweights of the time with the likes of Rohrl, Vatanen, Waldegard et al, taking the victory laurels.
