Mini Cooper S Works Rally
Discussion
How far do you want to go in making it a replica?, would it be a perfect copy of the original works rally cars?, or more of a rally/road mini taking certain feature from the Works cars?. If you'd like a nut for nut, every detail correct replica than it's going to cost you!. Phone up Miniworld as there was a rally replica in there a few issues ago (it looked superb), you should be able to purchase a back issue.
This is the 1964 Monte Carlo rally winning car, which was driven by Paddy Hopkirk:
They were a 1071cc Cooper S engine in 1964, then the 1275cc for 1965 onwards.
Good luck

Not nut for nut, just engine and basic looks. I have the 1275 engine in at the moment. Been quoted £850 for a two tone paint job which I though was very good. This is the 1964 Monte Carlo rally winning car, which was driven by Paddy Hopkirk:

Hi
I've found it, marathon search that has turned up allsorts of other bits and pieces that I was looking for too!!!!
It is for a Morris Cooper S prepped for the Circuit of Ireland 1966 reg DJB 92B. Mine is a poor photo copy I will scan it in so quality might not be the best.
There are 11 pages including a rolling road report saying 84BHP@7300 RPM.
For an idea of what is in it:-
2 speed wipers with switch fitted to drivers knee pad
Reversing lamp :- A/H 3000 side lamp.
Horn button:- Std for driver, foot operated for passenger.
Its a basic typed out sheet but interesting all the same.
Will copy it at work Thursday and send off to you.
Cheers

I always thought the Rally versions had around 100BHP. I've found it, marathon search that has turned up allsorts of other bits and pieces that I was looking for too!!!!
