Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1966 Mini Cooper S, chassis 850926, boasts an impressive rally history from 1966-1968, driven by legends like Timo Makinen and Paddy Hopkirk. It retains its original UK registration, JMO 969D, and unique rally modifications, presenting a time-warp car eligible for historic racing events.
Condition
7
The car is described as retaining much of its patina and being in storage for the last few years, suggesting it is not in pristine condition. However, it is also described as being 'on the button and drives well,' and is eligible for historic race and rally events, indicating it is mechanically sound. The interior boasts features like bucket seats with race harnesses and a Halda Speedpilot, but also mentions a 'hap-hazard array of rocker switches marked with Dymo tape on a patinated mat black dash,' indicating some wear and tear. Given its age, history, and current state, it falls into the 'Very Good' category.

Launched in March 1963, the 1,071cc Mini Cooper S was the ultimate Mini, at its heart a much higher specification engine than the plain Cooper’s unit, and slightly larger but much more efficient front disc brakes.
The increased potential of the S was quickly demonstrated by Rauno Aaltonen’s outright win on the 1963 Alpine Rally, followed by Paddy Hopkirk’s 1st place overall on the Monte Carlo, 3rd on the Tour de France and 4th on the RAC.
Manufactured in 1966, 850926 has the distinction of being a Works Mini Cooper S and campaigned from 1966 through to 1968 in some of the greatest rallies piloted by two of the greatest names in Rallying history.
In 1966, 850926 first Works outing was at the 27th Alpine Rally in early September with Timo Makinen at the wheel and Paul Easter carrying out co-driver duties but due to head gasket issues it was forced into an early retirement.
Rally legend Paddy Hopkirk took the wheel for the RAC rally on the 19th November 1966.
