26th - 30th September **Check out the pictures from the event **

2004 represents the 40^th Anniversary of Paddy Hopkirk and Henry Liddon winning the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964 in 33EJB.

To commemorate this anniversary in the Mini’s 45^th year the Mini Cooper Register is arranging a tour to Monte Carlo to celebrate this anniversary.

It is the intention of the Register to follow the route of the 64 Monte as closely as possible. As with the Montes of this period, starting points were all over Europe with routes converging on Reims in 1964. Then competitors followed the same route down to Monte Carlo.

In 1964 the UK starters commenced their event in Glasgow and headed down to near Southampton before going across to Dover to cross the channel.

The event will be running from the September 26th - 30th 2004. We are starting the run on Sunday morning from Dover before crossing to France and arriving in Monte Carlo on Thursday. 

The cost is £900 per car, with two occupants.   That will includes ferry fares, hotels for the event, evening meals (depending on Hotel location), road book and rally plates.

We are aiming to run with 60 cars, preference will be give to MCR members and those using classic Minis.   Members with new MINI’s are also invited.

To register your interest either click on the link below or write to Minis to Monte, Mini Cooper Register, PO Box 1275, Farnham, Surrey, GU10 4XD. When communicating your interest please let us have your contact and car details.

Regular updates will appear in the MCR magazine and via an event Newsletter which to will be available on this website.
