Check out these pics of Tuthill Porsches at the East African Safari Classic Rally

The folks at Tuthill Porsche have certainly had a busy year. Not only did they come out with the ultra-lightweight, restomodded 911K in August this year, but they also took 13 cars and a team of 70 people out to the East African Safari Classic Rally in February, and now we finally get to enjoy some brilliant images.

They’ve been released because Tuthill also has a full film about the 2022 event out on YouTube, so head to that link if you like your moving images as well as stills.

Aren’t these just the best shots, though? Classic, rally-prepped 911s and flamingos – there’s the collaboration we never knew we needed. 

Tuthill’s highest-placed finishers at this year’s rally – which covers up to 5,000km in Kenya and is only for pre-1986 cars – were ex-Junior WRC Champion Patrik Sandell and his co-driver Henrik Bolinder, who finished second overall. Oh, and the Tuthill team also happened to include a chap named Ken Block, who was taking on the rally for the first time with his co-driver Alex Gelsomino.

“The Safari rally is unique; it always has been it always will be,” said Richard Tuthill himself. 

“This year was no exception. The rescheduled date meant the climate was hotter and harsher than ever. Added to this we went North for the first time in a long time. The roads up there are extremely tough. 

“Measuring success is of course subjective. But in my mind this year, more than any, was a huge success.

“An amazing bunch of clients including many debuting not only in rallying terms but also in Safari terms led to a team atmosphere which was very, very special.

“Second place and six cars in the top 10 was quite an achievement and only made possible with a team of crazily great people. Can’t wait till the next one.”
