MINI Ramps Up Excitement For Rally New Zealand

The New Zealand Herald reports that New Zealand MINI owners will get the chance to mimic the movie classic The Italian Job in a safe MINI road rally as MINI New Zealand builds up to Rally New Zealand which is schedule to occur later this month. The article says, in part that, on display,
. . . will be Mini GC4 - an historic rally car that's the twin of GC3, the winner of the 1972 Rally of New Zealand.

Co-driver Jim Scott, from the 1972 event, will be taking part in the Sunday, July 17 drive.

Some more modern rallying personalities will be there too, including Brunu De Pianto, manager of WRC Team Mini Portugal, who will be piloting in a Countryman.
