The classless icon of the 60’s. From London chic to international rally star, from Peter Sellers to Paddy Hopkirk, this amazing little car has everything. Equally at home driving to the shops or tearing along an icy corniche on the Monte Carlo Rally.


The more or less standard 997 Mk 1 Cooper took over from the original much-modified 850 rally car at the end of 1961, and scored 1st places in the ’62 Tulip, Baden-Baden and Geneva Rallies. Our car – 300 BXM is one of three original Radford specials, modelled on the Sellers Hooper version, and was presented to the Dancer Margot Fonteyn in 1961.

Originally supplied as an 850cc Morris Mini and now up-rated to approx. Cooper mechanical specification with 998cc mildly tuned twin SU carb engine, and period rally extras, to make Mini Margot more suitable for historic road and regularity rallying, whilst maintaining an authentic period look and feel.
