Since completion in 1998, the car has been maintained regardless of cost (as confirmed by bills on file) 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. The car purchased at Bonhams’ ‘Race Retro’ sale at Stoneleigh, Warwickshire in March 2007 (Lot 306), since when it has been invited to the Goodwood ‘Festival of Speed’ where it was driven again by Rauno Aaltonen in 2010. While other ex-works cars 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 prepared 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 started the 1965 RAC Rally, which it won, making it the only Mini ever to do so.
