Paddy Hopkirk Retro MK1

Post by UHR850 »

Well as you know Paddy Hopkirk is back together with MiniSport, well done.
But het did this before some years ago with the Downton Company in 1999,
they build the Paddy Hopkirk Special Edition.
The price was from 12,995 pounds plus options, they where planed to make
15 of them but I know only one, and this one is in the USA.

Somehow I suspect that paddy's tie up with Mini Sport will last longer & be more reliable than the deal he did with the Mickleburghs :lol:
