Career Description
Paddy Hopkirk is a Life Member of the BRDC and was elected in 1967. Paddy will always be remembered for winning the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally with Henry Liddon in a Mini Cooper S, registration 33 EJB. This may have been his most famous victory - but it certainly wasn't the only one! Victories started in 1955 at a St Patrick's Day Trial in a VW Beetle, and continued through to the 1990 Pirelli Classic Marathon, again at the wheel of a Mini Cooper S. Paddy was not only a rally star, he also excelled on the race track, scoring many victories during a remarkable career.
