Andrew Cowan
Andrew Cowan (born 13 December 1936) is a Scottish former rally driver, and the founder and senior director of Mitsubishi Ralliart until his retirement on 30 November 2005.
==Early years==
Cowan was raised in Duns, a small town in the Scottish Borders, where he established a longstanding close friendship with future Formula One world champion Jim Clark, also a young farmer and the same age as himself. According to Cowan their lifestyles were a great help in their subsequent careers: ''"We each had to have a car. We were able to drive in fields, off road, and of course through all the twisty roads around here where there was practically no traffic in those days. That definitely refined our driving skills. We had advantages that other drivers didn't."''〔("Borders farmer who cultivated speed, honour and Mitsubishi" ), Rick Wilson, ''The Scotsman'', 23 December 2005〕
Both men were active in the Berwick and District Motor Club during the 1950s, but while Clark gravitated to open-wheeled racing, Cowan ventured off-road, and took part in the 1960 RAC Rally, eventually finishing 43rd of over 200 starters in a Sunbeam Rapier. Impressed by his success, his father bought him a newer, more powerful Rapier as a replacement, and behind the wheel of his new vehicle, he won the 1962 Scottish Rally, an achievement he later declared to be his "Most Important Moment". He returned the following year to successfully defend his title,〔(RSAC Scottish Rally – Previous winners ), ScottishRally.co.uk〕 and as a result the Rootes Group invited him to become their 'works' driver.〔〔("Andrew Cowan" ), ''The Imp Site''〕
