Showbus Entrants 1996

We always find it difficult with so many vehicles to know who in the end turned up on the day, particularly as some entries change the vehicle they are bringing right at the last minute for technical or operational reasons. If you have an accurate list of which vehicles were at EFE SHOWBUS 96 we would be pleased to hear from you and will update our entrants list accordingly. This list is correct to September 25th 1996 - 4 days before the rally.

Please contact us by e-mail at: enquiries@showbus.com.
