1960 Monte Entry

Does anyone know any details on a light blue Alpine with a black hardtop entered in the 1960 Monte Carlo Rally? Looks as though it had lights in front of the grill but no other significant features judging by the somewhat blurry picture I've seen of it.

One of my model suppliers is in need of details on the car (results, driver/navigator, car number etc) to try to produce it. I'd check my books etc but it will be a few days before I can get to it.

There were a number of Alpines that ran the 1960 Monte Carlo:

In addition to the three white cars of the Swedish team.

There was Trigg/Miller (203) and Easton/Whitmore (290) and another Danish entrant.

203 of Trigg/Miler was a white car with a white top....

I suppose the blue car you are asking about could be Easton/Whitmore or the Danish car but I have never found photos of either. There could have been other entries, too, but I only know of these six.
