Rally world in mourning as it bids farewell to a legend.
Paddy Hopkirk, the man who did so much for the mystique of the original Mini with that memorable 1964 Monte win, has died at the age of 89. His passing late on Thursday night was confirmed in a statement by Mini Sport.
For many enthusiasts it remains impossible to think of the original Cooper S and not picture 33 EJB, the car driven to victory in Monte Carlo almost 60 years ago. That’s the impact Hopkirk’s epic drive, with Henry Liddon on the pace notes, had for the Mini back in 1964. The giant-killing feat is what Minis would go on to be legendary for in the world of motorsport.
