Im sad to announce that the famous swedish rally driver Mr Björn Waldegård passed away today in the age of 70.
We all know that he, among a huge lot of other cars, drove one of the factory rally 914/6's in the early '70s.
He will be missed by a lot of us.

very sad 
I remember having (snail) mail contact with him a couple of years back, chatting about the rumor that he might have been the driver of the 916 #0015, that is known as being totaled in the early years.
He told me that he never had the joy to drive a 916 ...
R.I.P.

A few months ago I was driving my '73 2.0 slowly in a narrow street in my home town & a bearded character flagged me down, saying that he had 3 914s, including a couple of /6s, one of which had been driven by Bjorn in various rallies. Turns out it was Jaykay from Jamiroquai......

Very sad...such a great driver.
Too young, R.I.P. Godspeed Bjorn.
