1000 Lakes Rally 1966.

[GE9001]

 

Pauvre DJB93B dans International GULF London Rally 1966. Mais même dans cette état auncune works car (ou Cooper en géneral!) est 'morte' (written off) !! Elle roule toujours avec panache!

BONHAM's l'a vendu aux enchéres, en 2007, par £ 100.500,00 !!

 

1965 RAC Rally and 1966 Scottish winner

1964 Mini Cooper 1275S Ex-Works Rally Saloon

Registration no. DJB 93B

Chassis no. CA2S7/662044

Engine no. 9F-SA-Y/34709

Sold for £100,500 inc. premium[h3]Footnotes[/h3]

• According to the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, this now Morris-badged, though originally Austin Mini Cooper 1275S, CA2S7/662044, was built at Longbridge 26 November 1964 prior to despatch to the MG Car Company at Abingdon 2 December, when, like most BMC factory competition cars it was issued with the current DJB 93B Berkshire registration. Following subsequent, back to basics preparation by the Comps Department, initially as an Austin for export market reasons, it took part in the 1965 Swedish and Acropolis Rallies before finishing 13th in category on the Alpine and, in the legendary Rauno Aaltonens hands as a Morris, winning the RAC Rally of GB.

 

Having been driven to victory by Tony Fall on the Scottish Rally the following season however, DJB 93B rolled into retirement from Abingdon Competition Department service during the 1966 Gulf London Rally and was not re-discovered until 1986. By 1991, ownership had transferred from Clubman Jeff Wilson to Mini Machine of Darlington, from whom the project was taken on in 1996 by the vendor who has over-seen a total restoration to original works-spec.

 

A correct and fully restored Mk1 body shell was employed, though with double-skinned exhaust tunnel, floor under drivers feet and cross-member, strengthened bulkhead steady bar bracket, steering rack mounts and rear shocker mounts all being to Abingdon spec. Although run initially in hydrolastic form, like most works Minis of the day, the car became a dry suspension car in period and is in this form today. Parts were sourced by marque specialist John Kelly, while Simon Wheatcrofts workshop was responsible for the detailed build.

 

With 1275S thick-flange block linered and bored out +20 thou to 1293cc, Omega dished pistons, Farndon cross-drilled crank in EN40B, fully machined conrods in EN24V, Downton No 2 cam and 12G940 head fed by twin SU H4s, engine builder Bryan Slark, formerly with Downton, achieved a dyno reading of 117bhp at 7000rpm and 107lb/ft torque at 5000rpm. The transmission spec includes a 22G333 gearbox casing, straight-cut close-ratios, straight-cut drop gears, 4.3:1 final drive and Quaife Torsen-type limited slip. Following installation in the car, the rolling road showed 96bhp at 7250rpm and 81lb/ft at 4250rpm. The vendor tells us that the engine is extremely flexible from 3000rpm and will easily rev to 8000rpm at which point, he says, it sounds wonderful!

 

With the early BMC roll-bar with single rear stay no longer complying with FIA/MSA safety requirements, a Safety Devices bolt-in full cage with easily removable front hoop has been chosen. 1964 glass windows have been used, whilst heated screen and all trim as well as Springalex-type wheel, air horns and electric internally-mounted washers are exactly as used on the 1965 RAC, the seats being exact replicas of the originals; the drivers bucket with tubular frame, the co-drivers reclining. The works dash and well equipped navigators department are Abingdon-correct. Current regs-compliant Willans harnesses and FIA cut-out switch are fitted.

 

The electrics are authentic having been carried out by Stan Chalmers who, with John Smith of Lucas, used to wire-up all the factory cars. There are 5 extra Lucas lamps with quick-release brackets and a swivelling roof light with Aaltonen anti-glare scoop. Under-body protection is provided by a Scottish sump guard with optional extension guard and battery skid. The wheels, six of them, are genuine magnesium Minilites shod with Yokohama A008s; five new, one used. Roof and body as well as engine and transmission paint colours are all authentic. For display, there is a December 65 tax disc; the street legal disc current until July 2007.

 

A most impressive history file contains DVLC registration document acknowledging historic vehicle status, signed and dated BMIHT Heritage Certificates pre and post-rebuild confirming manufacturing, registration and competition history, Abingdon Build Sheets for 1964 RAC, BMC Homologation Forms from period, FIA Historic Vehicle Identity Form, current MSA Competition Car Logbook, MOT Test Certificates 1986-July 2007 and 2 folders of original invoices. Photo albums record restoration, wiring, engine both in build and on dyno, and winning drivers Aaltonen and Fall with car at Abingdon Reunion. On the front covers of the December 1965 Autosport and a recent Mini World, DJB 93B has also featured in several other publications, copies of which also accompany the car.

 

DJB 93Bs BMC factory team rally history

1965 Swedish (Rauno Aaltonen) retired, mechanical

1965 Acropolis (Timo Makinen) retired, mechanical

1965 Alpine (Pauline Mayman) 13th in category

1965 RAC (Rauno Aaltonen) 1st overall

1966 Scottish (Tony Fall) 1st overall

1966 Gulf London (Tony Fall) retired, accident

 

This is one of the most correctly specified and detailed ex-works Minis around. For since completion in 1998, and as confirmed by bills on file recording work carried out to engine, running gear and bodywork, the car has been maintained regardless of cost and always garaged in a heated and dehumidified motor house. Apart from regular exercise on various historic rally fun runs as part of the Slowly Sideways Group, DJB 93B has also been successfully hill climbed and sprinted with a win in the 2001 Midland Speed Classic Championship. When catalogued, the odometer indicated 4825 miles, which the vendor tells us accurately charts the total distance driven during his ownership.

 

While other ex-works cars do come onto the open market from time to time, many of them are likely to cost very much more again to restore and then involve even further expenditure to return them to period-correct specification, few are likely to have been prepped to the standard of authenticity to be found on this car. DJB 93B has been rebuilt as far as has been practical to the original specification in which it would have been turned out for the start of the 1965 RAC Rally, which it won, making it the only Mini ever to do so.

Je suis sûr ! Cést bien Jorma Lusenius au volant de JBL494D avec immatriculation Finnoise et nº 27. En raison de ses bons résultats de l'année précédente Jorma Lusenius a été embauché par BMC pour guider JBL494D. Cette même voiture sera guidé par Harry Kalstrom au RAC du même année, ainsin l'experience avec Jorma Lusenius a restée pour les 1000 Lakes '66... Jorma n'était pas completement inconnu de BMC parce que il utilisait en Finlande une 1275 S , la "ANR-3' qu' on voit ici dans les courses locales, suivi para le Morris de Jommi Salomaa (garage Honda Wirtasen). La tache sombre dans le fond n'est pas de la forêt, mais le public !
