The 1964 “Tour de France Automobile” Rally
The “Tour de France Automobile” rally was an automotive endurance race that began in 1899. The event occurred sporadically over 60 years, until becoming an annual race in 1959. At the time, it was the epitome of European motoring, due to safety concerns, it was cancelled in 1986 and replaced with a rally for historic cars that ran at reduced speeds.
In 1964, three 4.7L Mustangs prepared by Alan Mann Racing of Great Britain with assistance from Holman & Moody were entered into the race. These Mustangs competed in the Touring class against the mighty 3.8 Jaguar Mk II’s. Seventeen stages and ten days later, the Mustangs finished the Touring class in first place with Peter Proctor and Andrew Cowan and second place with Peter Harper and David Pollard. This was the first professional race win and first international victory for the Ford Mustang, proving the Mustang was ready to be more than just a “secretary’s car.”
Holman & Moody History
Holman & Moody was formed when the U.S. automobile manufacturers collectively decided to get out of racing in the late 1950’s. John Holman and Ralph Moody formed the company and became involved with all of Ford’s racing efforts worldwide. In the 1960’s, Holman & Moody became a powerhouse of racing technology as the company’s influence was felt across nearly every sector of automotive competition including NASCAR, road racing and drag racing.
