Description
THE PADDY HOPKIRK EDITION
Inspired by the legendary rally driver Paddy Hopkirk who won the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally in a Mini Cooper S number 37 with registration number 33 EJB, the Paddy Hopkirk Edition embodies its motorsport heritage. Offered as a MINI 3-door Hatch with a powerful Cooper S engine and limited to only 100 vehicles in the UK, the Paddy Hopkirk Edition comes with impeccable fixed specification and has automatic transmission. The motorsport appearance of the Paddy Hopkirk Edition is enhanced by a modern interpretation of the iconic 37 racing number. Unique Paddy Hopkirk Edition features include the cockpit facia, door sill finishers, side scuttles and exterior badges, as well as the solo bonnet stripe in white with Paddy Hopkirk's signature. Additionally, the Paddy Hopkirk Edition features Piano Black Exterior with extended contents including various exterior elements in Piano Black. These extra details and the Additional LED Headlights in black add even more character to the car. Perfectly complementing the exterior design, the interior elements complete the racing look.
I am the second owner of the car and only driven 200 miles since ownership in June 2022. The car is always stored in a heated garage and only taken out on dry days in the Spring/Summer (taxed for 6 months of the year). The car is in absolutely mint condition with extremely low mileage. It's still as good as the day it came out of the factory, with some very nice & valuable memorabilia included!
The car comes with the original poster & letter signed by Paddy Hopkirk and a video card explaining the history of the original mini and the new limited edition.
Since owning the car, I have also purchased & created the following items which will be included in the sale.
Paddy Hopkirk book - Signed by Paddy himself & multiple well-known signatures from the mini racing world.
3 x Framed A1 Posters - Several other unframed prints included.
Photobook highlighting the original PHK Mini & the new 100 limited edition version.
Genuine Mini Winter floor mats - never used.
PHK '37' LED door projector lights (Shown in photo) - Original MINI LED's are still with the car, so can be easily swapped over.
Comes with an MOT until May 2026 and has recently had it's Major Service completed at a Mini Specialist garage. Prior to that, all servicing has been done at the Main Mini Dealership.
This is going to be a future collectable and will ultimately only go up in value.
