STIG BLOMQVIST TO ENTER CAMBRIAN RALLY
"RALLYING legend Stig Blomqvist will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of his 1984 World Rally Championship win by competing on October’s Visit Conwy Cambrian Rally.
The popular Swedish driver will be in a specially prepared 1964 Mini Cooper S sponsored by Mini Spares Centre, in association with BMW/ Mini, for his only competitive rally outing in the UK this year. His co-driver will be Paul Morris, whose knowledge of the North Wales Forests will doubtless enable Stig to demonstrate his prowess to the full.
The Mini Cooper has been built by Soderquist Engineering in Sweden working in collaboration with A Series expert Phil Anning of Anning’s Race and Restoration and is based on the 2020 Monte Carlo Rally Mini driven by Rauno Aaltonen, and after recently testing the same specification engine, Stig was said to be very impressed by its’ power and tractability."

January 2025 Miniworld magazine has an article on "The Cambrian Job" and the team effort behind it, which confirms Stig finished the rally 23rd overall, taking a class win. The Mini will be at the HRCR Open Day at BMM Gaydon in January and then hopefully on the rally track at Race Retro in February before the car heads back to Sweden. The special Finnish made gravel tyres were designed by Rauno Aaltonen.
