Mini India has launched a limited-run version of the Mini Cooper S called Mini Paddy Hopkirk Edition, priced at Rs 41.70 lakh. Only 15 units of this three-door hatch will be made available, exclusively on the Mini website. This model is a tribute to rally driver Patrick Paddy Hopkirk and his No 37 red Mini Cooper S which won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964. Driven by a then 30 years old Hopkirk, this was the first of three wins that the original Mini would score at the Monet Carlo Rally. The win was instrumental in the small car achieving its reputation as being a car that was competitive and fun, setting the stage for the legacy we know it carries today.
