As the heading says ,what was the VERY FIRST rally you can remember spectating on???
I can remember watching a very early 60s RAC come down Skipton High Street,The local man was Ian Appleyard with his wife navigating ,in a cream Jaguar XK 120/140,a works car as Ian was married to Sir William Lyons daughter.Who was the boss of Jaguar Cars .The registration was NUG120
Ian owned the Appleyard group in Leeds ,who John Millington started out as an apprentice motor mechanic with.
