**If you speed up on curves instead of slowing down, you probably own a Mini ** 
1965 Mini Cooper FIA Rally Car 
Valid FIA HTP, Belgian registration, RACB book 
Ideal entry for Monte Carlo, VHRS or any other Classic Rally 

This 1965 original Mini Mk1 was professionally prepared as a Mini Cooper 998cc Rally car in Turku Finland where it was campaigned and autographed on the dashboard by local flying Finn Rauno Aaltonen, the inventor of left foot braking and the Aaltonen spin. 

In 2024 the car was exported to Belgium in 2024 where the body was restored and resprayed in its striking bright blue color. 

The car comes with a valid FIA HTP, a Belgian RACB yellow booklet and Belgian Oldtimer registration with technical inspection valid to April 2029.
