Classic Mini Rally Drivers: Who do you think of?

What name comes to mind when you think about the rally drivers of the Classic Minis of the 1960's?

Paddy Hopkirk?
Timo Makinen?
Rauno Aaltonen?
Tony Fall?
Pat Moss?

I am specing out a new MCS. Thinking of naming it Paddy...

See my sig for more details

How about Phil Wicks? He was one of the stunt drivers for the Italian Job. He now has a MINI driving school.

Phil would be a posiblilty. But I could have sworn he did the italian job (Benny Hill, Michael Cain the one where they kill the classic Minis and the cliff hanger ending) not, The Italian Job (Marky Mark Walburg and the BMW New MINI Coopers)

Timo got the most wins, Rauno got the first big win. But I would have to delete the number plates on the doors.
