1966 - MINI COOPER S - www.tomax.se

During the 1966 Monte Carlo rally, the Mini Cooper S really showed what it was capable of. "The Three Musketeers:" Mäkinen, Aaltonen and Hopkirk dominated the competition right from the start, and it was in that order that they then finished as the top three drivers. However, the joy did not last long. This when the French competition commission decided to disqualify the trio because of the extra-mounted lights in the grill, which were claimed not to comply with the official regulations. In the same way, the fourth-place finisher Roger Clark in his Ford Lotus Cortina was affected, as he also had an impact on the mounted auxiliary lights. Thus, all first, second, third and fourth were disqualified and the win instead went to the Finnish Citroën driver, Pauli Toivonen, who actually crossed the finish line as number five. We can now present a example of a Swedish-sold Austin Mini Cooper S from 1966. Painted in Signal Red color and black painted roof. This Mini Cooper S was sold new in Dalarna in the north of Sweden, on October 27, 1967, to Rally driver Carl Gunnar "CG" Sundqvist. He quickly tuned the engine from 78hp to a roaring 90hp. He also replaced the front seats with rally seats from "Paddy Hopkirk" of the "Apline" model. With this particular car, Carl Gunnar competed in several rally competitions. Among other things, the Winter Cup in Sandviken 1968. The car has lived its entire life in Dalarna. Over the years, the car has been well taken care of and carefully serviced and maintained. The engine has just been inspected and serviced by a reputable sports car workshop. The front seats are carefully restored in an exquisite original condition. The car is fantastic and a true joy to drive. Contact us for more information.
