Wonderful footage showing Henri Toivonen at his best from the vast video repository of amjayes.
The clips focus on Toivonen's spectacular driving in the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus, right up until his final days behind the wheel of the Lancia Delta S4. There are glimpses, in the short films, of the Finn's enigmatic charm which endeared him to so many fans.
We also see Toivonen driving the Opel Ascona 400, Ferrari 308 GTB, Opel Manta 400, Porsche 911 SCRS and the Lancia Rally 037 on events as diverse as the Mille Pistes, 1000 Lakes, Swedish, RAC, Monte Carlo, Manx Rally, Sanremo, Acropolis, Costa Smeralda etc., etc.
The videos really are a work of art, perfectly capturing the legendary Finn as most people remember him. Acclaimed Italian rally filmmaker Piero Comanducci's portrayal of Toivonen features in the third clip.
