Eugen Böhringer turned 90!
« on: February 02, 2012, 05:02:12 »
I am sure most of you, if not all, have seen our Group Logo, a photo of the car in which Eugen Böhringer won the 1963 Spa-Sofia-Liège Rally together with Klaus Kaiser as co-pilot.
He turned 90 on January 22, 2012 and Daimler honored him with a big celebration at the Mercedes Museum.  Here are a few photos.
Photo -2: From left to right: Peter Lang, Rolf Moll, Eugen Böhringer, Rolf Knoll, Klaus Kaiser, Eberhard Mahle, Ewy Baronin von Korff-Rosqvist, Hans Herrmann, Herbert Linge, Dieter Glemser.
Photo -3: Ewy Korff-Rosquist was probably one of the two best female rally drivers ever (the other being Pat Moss, imo). The man on the right is Eberhard Mahle - another successful rally driver - whose company's pistons are installed in many of our cars.
