80-1978-violet

The A10, which made its overseas debut in the spring of 1978 at the Safari Rally (3rd overall), won the autumn Southern Cross Rally in Australia two years in a row (in 1977 it was the 710). The driver was the previous year’s Australian champion, J. Fury. In Australia the car was sold as the Stanza, so a “STANZA” emblem adorns the body
