Original lithograph: Algiers Le cap Rally

The Algiers–Cape Town Rally was a motor rallying competition organised by Les Amis du Sahara et de l'Eurafrique, with support from various African automobile clubs, including the Association sportive de l'automobile club d'Alger, open to both cars and trucks.

Several editions were held: 1951, 1953, 1956, 1959 and 1961.

For the 1956 edition the route was reversed, running Cape Town to Algiers over 13,500 kilometres, drawing great enthusiasm from local populations and delight from children.
