Belfast to Monte Carlo

Jason Barlow joins Paddy Hopkirk to drive from Minsk to Monte Carlo as Paddy retraces the route he and co-driver Henry Liddon took over 50 years ago to win the Monte Carlo Rally.

It's been just over 50 years since local motoring legend Paddy Hopkirk and his co-driver Henry Liddon won one of the biggest events in the sporting calendar, the Monte Carlo Rally.

Now, from the ±«Óãtv archive, Paddy and former Top Gear presenter Jason Barlow retrace the original route at the wheel of a modern Mini Cooper.

The film blends contemporary footage of their eight day journey with nostalgic archive clips, harking back to the heady days when the Mini was a cultural icon, owned by the rich and stylish.
