One brilliant driver in his day. Havn't seen him for years & was really looking forward to seeing him at rallyday. Sad day.

Truly great champion and very humble man. Had the pleasure of meeting him at Stoneleigh a few years back and a photo with him, which I treasure. The world is a poorer place today. RIP Bjorn.

Bjorn

Really sad news I was sat with Bjorn at Goodwood ,he was charming ,talkative ,posed for photo,s ,and we talked about the stage there .He said it's getting too rough,they will need to get it better for next year. Then we talked about the Eifel Rally a week or so later where he told me he was using a Merc sport as he did last year jokingly saying "an old man needs to drive an old mans Automatic car " And also that he was looking forward to doing the rally with Stephane Prevot too .
A true legend R.I.P. Born ,your name and our memories will live on
