FAMOUS MINI TO GO UNDER THE HAMMER
The Mini Cooper S that Rauno Aaltonen took to victory on the 1965 RAC Rally will be sold at auction at the NEC Classic
Motor Show on November 12.
The Mini, registered DJB 93B, is the only Mini to have won the RAC Rally and went on to win the 1966 Scottish Rally with Tony Fall.
The car was retired shortly after its win in Scotland and was little used until 1996, when it was acquired by Phil Short, former WRC team manager for Toyota and Mitsubishi. Short commissioned a full restoration to 1965 works specification.
This very significant rallying Mini has a guide price of between £110,000 and £150,000.
