"I navigated with Tom Trana who was absolutely brilliant."
Ron Crellin: One of the BMC rally team's top co-drivers. "Sweden sent over a trio of the best up-and-coming Scandinavian drivers to drive Mini Coopers (Timo Makinen, Bengt Soderstrom and Tom Trana) and they were paired with British navigators. I went with Tom Trana who was absolutely brilliant." - Ron on his early days of navigating in Minis. "Paddy wanted a change of co-driver and he and I paired up. We did the Flowers Rally together but I was rather nervous and messed things up through booking in early at controls." - Ron on how he hooked up with Paddy Hopkirk.
