AGMC, the official importer of BMW Group vehicles for Dubai, Sharjah, and the Northern Emirates, has revealed the exclusive MINI Paddy Hopkirk that is now available across all its showrooms in the UAE. Based on the popular MINI Cooper S Hardtop 2 Door model, the highly anticipated model is inspired by the historic rally-winning model and is limited to just 3 units.
In 1964, the classic MINI Cooper S clinched the first of three overall victories at the legendary Monte Carlo Rally. At the wheel was the then 30-year-old Northern Irish rally driver Patrick “Paddy” Hopkirk. In his honor, MINI now presents an edition model with exclusive design and equipment features to mark one of the most spectacular achievements in motorsport.
Ayhan Olcer, CEO of AGMC, says, “The winning streak at the Monte Carlo Rally continues to inspire MINI fans all over the world to this day. With the MINI Paddy Hopkirk Edition, MINI lovers can now express their passion for racing in a particularly authentic way. We welcome MINI enthusiasts from around Dubai and the Northern Emirates to visit our showrooms to get a first look at the exclusive model.”
One unmistakable reminder of Hopkirk’s historic win in the classic MINI is the car’s start number 37, which this special edition Cooper S flaunts as well as a stunning body finished in Chili Red, a contrast white roof and a unique MINI LED entry sill that bears the name “Paddy Hopkirk”. Adorned in exclusive model-specific features, Hopkirk’s signature graces the decorative trim strip on the passenger side, which forms part of the Piano Black high-gloss interior surfaces.
