Official Videos of MINI at Geneva

“Cooper D offers plenty of driving pleasure” unless you live in the States ;)

Still good to see the video’s from the show. Funny though as a performance car enthusiast the only one that raised my interest on the stage was the classic #45 sitting proudly next to its rather bloated cousins lol.

Ive always felt it’s a little disingenuous to draw on the BMC rally years – the Works cars were actually from MG’s Abingdon race shop, where even the Big Healey rally cars were developed and maintained, but there is a continuity of thought and style from back then to now, so it’s a not BS at all. Aaltonen brings some heritage with him, tho, and if anybody has a legitimate opinion on what’s a descendant from those days, I’ll take his word. If the modern WRC rules were re-written to be as scrupulously dead stock as back in Rauno, Timo, and Paddy’s heyday, I bet the modern Cooper ‘S’ would kick ass.
