This fantastic tribute honours Paddy Hopkirk’s 1967 Acropolis Rally triumph. The Mini is an homage to LRX 830E, the works “S” in which Paddy Hopkirk and Ron Crellin won the 1967 Acropolis Rally outright.

Originally a Greek Mini Super Saloon, this car now has all 1275 Cooper S ex-works rally parts. It features the correct Cooper S engine, block, head, gearbox, brakes, and everything else. The wheels are magnesium Tech-Del Minilites.

This truly magnificent tribute car may be tougher, better, and stronger than the original. Upon entering, you feel the competition spirit and the ruggedness of professionally prepared rally cars. When you start the engine, the Weber carburetor roars 'I want to go,' giving you goosebumps. Now on off-road tires with limited grip on regular roads, it remains precise and versatile. It makes you feel like you can master it, taking you through every turn at any pace you like. An incredible and probably once in a lifetime opportunity to own a part of Mini history ‘on the button’ ready to use.
