Philip Young was so determined not to be a spectator just standing on the sidelines of the 1977 London to Sydney Marathon he built a kit-car Magenta for approximately $2000, and entered the rally as the smallest car and certainly the cheapest international rallycar in the line-up. He has taken part in six Himalayan rallies, in everything from the Archbishop of Canterbury's Morris Minor, a works Skoda, to ex-works Healey and Triumph TR8. Philip is generally credited with having kick-started the historic rally movement with events such as the Pirelli Classic Marathon, the Monte Carlo Challenge, Around the World in 80 Days, Classic Safari, and, in 1997, the 90th anniversary of the Peking to Paris. Philip has seen the pitfalls of where entrants go wrong, and, how bush mechanics make roadside repairs to get a car going again. Having entered rallies himself with no money, he is a keen advocate that \u0022a stitch in time saves nine\u0022 and that good preparation, even if from a garden shed, can help many a tortoise overtake a less well-prepared hare. Today he runs the Endurance Rally Association near Oxford.
