Back For A Victory Lap.

THE MINI 1965 VICTORY EDITION.

In 1965, MINI stunned the motorsport world by winning the Monte Carlo Rally for the second year in a row. Piloted by Timo Mäkinen and co-driver Paul Easter, the victory cemented MINI’s reputation as agiant-slayer.

Today, that legacy returns. The MINI 1965 Victory Edition revives the spirit of the legendary ‘AJB 44B’ race car, reimagined through the performance-focused MINI John Cooper Works 3 Door. It’s history, reborn, and proof that that underdogs don’t just compete – they win.

The MINI 1965 Victory Edition is coming in October, don’t miss your opportunity to own a defining chapter of MINI history.

THE LOOK OF A CHAMPION.

From first glance, the MINI Victory Edition makes its lineage unmistakable. A modern interpretation of the 1965 rally champ, it wears its Chili Red finish with pride, contrasted by an Edition-exclusive white roof and matching mirror caps. The iconic ‘52’ race number completes the tribute, turning heritage into a bold statement.

A STRIPE, WELL-EARNED.

A singular white stripe cuts a purposeful line from bonnet to boot, accented by tone-on-tone AJB 44B lettering. A subtle yet unmistakable homage to the 1965 Monte Carlo Rally winner that inspired it.

WINNING STARTS WITHIN.

Open the door and the story continues. From the ‘1965 Victory Edition’ door entry sills and steering wheel badging to ’52’ inscribed 3D printed commemorative key fob cover, every detail celebrates the legacy. Even the driver’s door features a decal commemorating the 1965 Monte Carlo Rally winners.

BE AMONG THE LUCKY FEW.

Only a limited number of MINI 1965 Victory Edition models will be available in South Africa. Each one a tribute to one of the most iconic wins in rally history. Contact your local MINI Retailer today to secure yours
