Paddy Hopkirks international career began in 1958 when he won the
Circuit of Ireland (the first of five such victories) at the age of 25
behind the wheel of a ‘works’ Standard. A year later he joined Rootes
Group and established a reputation for finishing against the odds.
Stuart Turner persuaded Paddy into the BMC team for 1962 but before
being let loose in the Mini he served an apprenticeship driving the
‘big’ Healey. Then, in 1964, came the major win with Henry Lidden in the
‘left hand’ seat. Together they beat the mighty Ford Falcons across the
Col du Turini and over the line into Monaco - even though the American
cars had four times the power. |
