The Best of The Monte Carlo Rally in the Sixties DVD. A compilation of classic films from the Standard Triumph archives remastered for DVD. The Road to Monte Carlo (1960) (15 minutes): In this era the Monte Carlo rally was the biggest event on the motorsport calendar yet, by today's standards, the preparation looks basic. The cars have no roll cages, the drivers make do with ordinary clothing. This year saw the Mini - which would change the world of motorsport for ever - make its first outing on the international stage. Monte Carlo Rally (1963) (31 minutes): 1963 would be the year that the Mini began to prove itself. Held during the most severe European winter in living memory, this Monte Carlo Rally became an endurance test rather than a race. Two thirds of the 342 starters had been eliminated by the time the exhausted crews crossed the finishing line in glamorous Monte Carlo. Top honours went to Eric Carlsson in a Saab, expert in such tough conditions and fresh from a 3rd consecutive win on the RAC Rally. But the Minis also put on a plucky display with Paddy Hopkirk coming 6th overall. The line up of cars was stunning from the Fords - Cortinas, Anglias, Zodiacs and Falcons - to the Citroen DS and the little Renaults. The Monte Carlo Rally (1965) (32 minutes): 1965 was another tough test of driver and machine but by now the Mini, and the BMC Works Team, were at their peak. Only 35 out of 237 starters were able to struggle through the howling blizzards to the finish line. The lucky ones merely got lost, the less fortunate fell into ditches or hit hidden obstacles in the snow. Through all this, the splendid 'Flying Finn' Timo Makinen with his co-driver Paul Easter emerged in tremendous style to produce a second consecutive victory for the Mini Cooper S. Also upholding British pride among the elite band of finishers were 3 Triumph Spitfires who finished second
