The 1970 Acropolis Rally was Round 6 of the inaugural International Championship for Manufacturers, notorious for its punishing Greek gravel stages, rocky terrain and extreme heat that thinned the field.
Based in Athens, crews tackled approximately 270 km of special stages on rough gravel roads, with a total route distance of about 3526km including liaison sections.
Alpine-Renault swept the top two positions with their lightweight berlinettes, while the Ford Escort Twin Cam rounded out the podium.
The 1970 Acropolis Rally remains one of the toughest endurance rallies of the era, testing both man and machine to their limits.
