It was a giant killer’s tale made real — Northern Ireland’s Paddy Hopkirk at the wheel of a humble Mini Cooper S won the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally, a surprise victory that took the little British car from outsider and crowd pleaser to motor-racing legend. And now, almost 37 years since car number 37 made history, you can grab a slice of it yourself with one of just 100 limited-edition, modern era Paddy Hopkirk Minis produced to mark the moment. Deliveries of the Chili Red Mini Cooper S cars start in November, priced from £27,405, and carry Hopkirk’s signature on bonnet stripe and dash, plus a series of commemorative features including the original car’s 33 EJB registration embossed within.
