History Driver 1960s

Rolf Mellde

Overview

Rolf Mellde's greatest importance to rally history was technical. He joined Saab in 1946, worked on engine development and vehicle testing, and promoted competition as a demanding proving ground for the company's early cars.

Driving Style & Legacy

Mellde should not be portrayed primarily as a frontline 1960s works driver alongside Erik Carlsson. His larger contribution was building the engineering and competition-development foundation that allowed Saab's rally programme to succeed.
