Thanks Doc

This is a picture of a "replica" of the winning car entered by BMC Australia for Rauno Aaltonen and Bob Holden built by the local TAFE and on display at the Bathurst Motor Racing Museum.

1966 was the year of the "S" (thats Cooper S son...) of the 19 cars that started in Class C, seventeen were Coopers. Three "works" cars, two of which were piloted by internationals - Paddy Hopkirk and Rauno Aaltonen.

The winning car completed 130 laps and best lap was 3:11 (so they would be lapped by a V8 Supercar in about three these days).

Minis in the first nine places!! ya gotta love that!
