This is a cutaway of the now legendary #52 Mini Cooper S driven to victory at the 1965 Monte Carlo Rallye by the Timo Mäkinen / Paul Easter team. The variety seen in the field of cars that entered in ’65 was extraordinary, the second and third place finishers were Eugen Böhringer / Rolf Wütherich in a Porsche 904 and Pat Moss / Ann Wisdom in a Saab 96 – it’s highly unlikely we’ll ever see that much variety in an international level rally event again.
If you’d like to download the cutaway in full resolution you can click here (it measures 2048 x 1411 pixels) and if you’d like to see some actual footage of the 1965 Rallye you can click here.
