Paddy Hopkirk Edition for MINI Cooper S and JCW revives famous 1964 Monte Carlo Rally win
The Monte Carlo Rally was at the top of the list when it came to our ‘Top 10 giant-killing MINI motorsport achievements’ in the lead up to the British brand’s 60th anniversary a couple of years ago.
At the 1964 rally, the original Mini burst onto the motor racing landscape with a thrilling victory, thanks to Paddy Hopkirk and Henry Liddon using the agile handling of the Cooper S to head more powerful Ford Falcon V8s on the tight turns above the Mediterranean principality.
The MINI Paddy Hopkirk Edition is now available in Singapore

57 years have passed, but memories of the great triumph achieved by the compact car with the starting number 37 have hardly faded. In 1964, the classic MINI Cooper S clinched the first of three overall victories at the legendary Monte Carlo Rally. At the wheel, the then 30-year old Northern Irish rally driver Patrick Paddy Hopkirk.
