Auto winners are grinners! Car 101 – Andy Brown/Reg Owen and Car 105 – Andy Stott/Mark Davies, Nissan Patrol LWB
PIAA – Japan’s answer to ‘Dunhill’ and also the manufacturer of PIAA automotive lighting, sponsored the 1992 Australian Safari which, through the quirks of nature, was to become one of the toughest Safaris conducted since its inception in 1985.
