Title: The Paddy Hopkirk Story : A Dash of the Irish
Description: United Kingdom, Haynes. 2005, First Edition. (ISBN: 1844251101). Hardcover, 216 Pages. Signed dedication by author on title page. This book is a fascinating look at the golden age of international rallying, at a time when Britain was on the top of the world, the BMC competitions department was the best in the business, and everything seemed possible the cheeky little red-and-white Mini-Coopers. Paddy Hopkirk, winner of the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally, is one of Britain's best-known rally drivers and made the motorsport big time in Mini Coopers. A disarmingly modest man, Paddy originally approached BMC with the plea, I do want to drive cars which are capable of winning rallies outright, even if I'm not. From winning at a1955 St Patrick's Day Trial in a VW Beetle to the 1990 Pirelli Classic Marathon won in a Mini Cooper S, his glittering career is described in all its glory, with lots of tales of amusing escapades along the way. Very Good/Very Good. Signed by Author.
