About this poster

Twenty years of trying, and at last a crew from overseas beat Africa. The East African Safari was the toughest rally on earth: about 6,000 km in five days through Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, on dirt roads that turned to mud in the rains, and local crews had won every edition. From 30 March to 3 April 1972 Hannu Mikkola and Gunnar Palm, from Finland and Sweden, drove a white 1.6-litre twin-cam saloon with a black bonnet, number 7, to victory, about 28 minutes ahead of Sobieslaw Zasada's rear-engined flat-six coupe, with a sister car of the winner third.

The sheet tells it in three white bands running to the finish line in finishing order, numbers 7, 12 and 14, the winner far out in front. A hand-drawn, photorealistic front of the winning car, with its bull bar, spot lamps and dust, sits in the corner, and along the bottom: 6,000 km of route, 3 countries, 5 days, and the 28 minutes that made history.

The image is generated with AI from our researched brief, then reworked and finished by our team in Switzerland. It is an original picture, not a reproduction of any historical artwork.
