The 11th annual Historic Rally Car Register (HRCR) Open Day is at the British Motor Museum at Gaydon, Warwickshire, (M40 Junc 12). Saturday 12th January.

9:30am – 3.30pm, with the Museum open for an additional charge.

To help celebrate the 60th Anniversary of BMC’s Mini at the HRCR Open Day, some very special guests will attend.

Confirmed so far are former competitions manager Stuart Turner, Monte winning driver Paddy Hopkirk, co-drivers Paul Easter, Willy Cave, and Mike Wood, plus BMC Special Tuning manager Basil Wales.

To add to that, core members of the ‘works’ preparation team that made the Mini such a success will join them, including team manager Bill Price, senor technician Den Green and technicians Tommy Eales and Bob Whittington.

The British Motor Museum has promised to reunite the team with the actual Monte winning Mini up on the Mezzanine floor as part of the Open Day celebrations.

Special guest interviews will take place in the Mezzanine area by the vehicle display from around 11 am.
