Description

By: Peter Browning .

This is the story of how the famous BMC Competitions Department at Abingdon developed the Mini into a world- beating rally and race winner during the 1960s.

The evolution of the Mini-Cooper and the Mini-Cooper 'S' gave the top drivers of the day — Paddy Hopkirk, Tony Fall, and the flying Finns, Rauno Aaltonen and Timo Makinen — the chance of winning virtually every European Rally Championship event, including the famous run of victories in the Monte Carlo Rally. The works Minis were equally spectacular on the racetracks, and this book includes the exploits of the works-supported teams of Cooper, Tyrrell, Broadspeed and Arden.

This authoritative book, re-issued to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the BMC Competitions Department, brings the story right up to date with classic car rallying, where ex-works cars and replicas continue to star.

Peter Browning, the last Competitions Manager of BMC, and later British Leyland, looks back at the achievements of his predecessors, Marcus Chambers and Stuart Turner, and describes events in conjunction with the drivers, the co-drivers, and other members of the team, which was acknowledged as the most consistently successful of all time.
