Paddy signed a bunch of them at the introduction of the MC40 in February 2003 in Chicago. I have a couple laying around somewhere as well.

On a side note, he was actually a really great guy to talk with and signed as long as people had things for him.

I had a Paddy Hopkirk gas pedal extension on my old Mini. It really helped with the heel and toe maneuver.
