W here would the Mini be without
From page 66 you’ll also find the story of Frenchman
Jean-Claude Hrubon, whose life-long love affair with
Minis of all shapes and sizes was triggered when he
entered a Marcos at Le Mans in 1966. And of course,
there’s our amazing cover car too. Owner Jonathan
Lewis has been racing Minis since his teens and has
worked with some of the biggest stars in the world, yet
it was his brother’s bold 1275 GT Challenge racer that
really stayed in the memory. Read about his recreation
tale from page 46.
But we’re not all about motorsport this month.
We've also got Andy Varnava's brilliant collection of
lightly-tweaked Sportpacks, whilst Jamie Field’s
immaculate Jet Black will really appeal to the Mini
purists. Jamie is only 17-years-old, yet has
sidestepped the usual boring first car choices in
favour of a Mini, and a matching Metro too. Now
that's a victory of a whole different kind!
Enjoy the issue.
motorsport? So entwined are the two
entities, it’s impossible to imagine the
former without the latter. We’d have no Mini
Cooper, no iconic race cars and a distinct lack of
Mini superstars. Who knows how the Mini might
have fared without its famed giant-killing ability?
Fortunately, we don’t have to speculate.
Motorsport is still a massive influence on the Mini
scene, and the evidence is everywhere. We’ve got a
host of great events coming up this summer
including two Mini-specific racing festivals, and
who can ignore the fanfare surrounding the golden
anniversary of Paddy Hopkirk’s legendary 1964
Monte Carlo Rally win? Not the whole host of Mini
fans present at Paddy’s recent celebratory Gala,
and certainly not the bumper Mini entry that took
part in this year’s Monte Carlo Historic Rally. You
can read about both in this very issue.
