Although Paddy Hopkirks name will forever be associated with the competition success of the Mini, Paddy Hopkirk Accessories (PHA) always had an assuredly popularist feel to them.

Far from offering performance equipment PHA always stuck firmly to the chequered tape & leather driving glove end of the market.

For fans of performance tuning, the galling thing about this is that there will always be more money in selling go faster goodies to the masses than there is in offering true speed equipment to the few.

Paddy Hopkirk accessories were one of the main players in the popular motor accessories market for many years. This was in no small part due to their very heavy advertising in the popular motoring press. Heres an example of one of their adverts from the late 60's.
