 After some years with the number of entrants descending, this year's edition of the Barcelona-Sitges (56th) the list of entries has grown to nearly 70 cars again. And that's not the only good news: foreign entrants have reappeared in reasonable numbers. But as everything can´t be perfect this year the usual mediterranean good weather dissapeared and the cars had to battle the elements all along the route. Rain and strong winds accompanied the rally all the way from Barcelona to Sitges. Anyway, most of the owners seemed not too worried and with the extended tops, laterals and with raincoats over the period dresses most of the cars completed the journey. Despite the adverse climatic conditions, drivers and companions showed a very good sense of humor and the concours d'elegance was celebrated as usual (photos 2 and 3). And to help aginst the excess of water, the organisation had a Ford T firepump of the Council of Barcelona working hard (photo 4).
