The MINI Paddy Hopkirk Edition pays homage to the classic MINI Cooper S that won the Monte Carlo Rally three times starting in 1964, with the driver Patrick "Paddy" Hopkirk behind the wheel.
In 1964, the classic Mini Cooper S clinched the first of three victories at the Monte Carlo Rally. At the wheel was the then 30-year-old Northern Irish rally driver Patrick Paddy Hopkirk in the No. 37 red Mini Cooper S. The Mini Paddy Hopkirk Edition is a tribute to the racing legend and his triumph at the Monte Carlo Rally.

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.
Kicks Exterior
As far as its appeal as a subcompact car goes, the Nissan Kicks has developed a much sharper aesthetic, partly due to that large front grille that is framed on either side by angular headlights. Vertical side vents make the Kicks look taller than it is, but the available two-tone color schemes can counter that and make the Kicks seem sleeker. At the rear, a faux diffuser and roof spoiler can be seen along with LED taillights. Both the headlights and taillights can feature LEDs optionally, and we enjoy the new connected taillight bar. 16-inch steel wheels are standard while upper trims get stylish 17-inch alloys in different flavors.
