Two motorsport Minis 51 years apart — the 1967 Monte Carlo Rally winner and a 2018 Dakar buggy.

Set #75894 2019 492 pieces 6-stud Retired

The 1967 Mini Cooper S won that year’s Monte Carlo Rally with Rauno Aaltonen at the wheel — the third Monte win for the Mini after Paddy Hopkirk in 1964 and Timo Mäkinen in 1965 (the 1966 win was disqualified for a headlamp infringement). 51 years later, MINI’s John Cooper Works programme entered the Dakar Rally with a tube-frame buggy bearing zero structural relationship to the road MINI — the badge connecting them is the only thing they share. This is one of the catalogue’s more honest dual sets: pairing because the brand wants to.

MINI's 1967 Cooper S Rally won the Monte Carlo Rally three times in a row in the mid-1960s and turned a tiny British hatchback into a giant-killer. The 2018 MINI John Cooper Works Buggy is a modern off-road interpretation — built for the W2RC and Dakar Rally programmes by X-Raid, sharing only the badge and the small-but-fierce attitude with the original. Pairing them is partly a heritage tribute and partly a marketing move: MINI wants you to remember that 'Cooper' on a rally car still means something.

MONTE CARLO WINNER

1967 Mini Cooper S Rally

Aaltonen’s Monte Carlo Rally car

Mini Cooper S rally cars dominated the Monte Carlo from 1964 to 1967 (with the 1966 disqualification as a footnote). The 1967 winning car was a 1,275 cc S — 105 hp from twin SU carburettors, four-speed manual, front-wheel-drive, and 686 kg in weight.

Driver Rauno Aaltonen co-drove with Henry Liddon, beating Ove Andersson’s Lancia Fulvia by 13 seconds after a four-night, four-day stage rally across France and Monaco. It was BMC’s last outright Monte Carlo Rally win.

Engine: 1,275 cc inline-4, 105 hp
Drivetrain: FWD, 4-speed manual
Class: Group 2
Notable result: Monte Carlo Rally winner 1967 (Aaltonen)

DAKAR RAID

2018 MINI John Cooper Works Buggy

X-raid Dakar buggy

The MINI John Cooper Works Buggy ran X-raid Team’s Dakar programme from 2018, alongside the company’s Countryman-bodied 4WD raid car. The buggy is rear-wheel-drive only, on a steel space-frame chassis with long-travel suspension and a 3.0-litre BMW twin-turbo six-cylinder diesel.

The buggy and the Countryman raid car race in different classes (T1.2 buggy versus T1.1 4WD) but ran in the same MINI livery. The buggy took its first Dakar stage win at Stage 11 of the 2019 event.

Engine: 3.0L twin-turbo BMW I6 diesel, ~340 hp
Drivetrain: RWD, tube frame
Class: Dakar T1.2 (open-buggy)
Operated by: X-raid Team

The build

Two builds, same red

The 1967 Cooper S has the iconic short overhangs and white roof in printed elements; the rallying-script door numbers are stickers.

The 2018 buggy is a deliberately exaggerated build — long-travel suspension and tall-stance bodywork that overstates the real car’s height to make the chassis difference read on the shelf.
