I got this mini in a mixed lot from an auction,the bonnet label has slipped but you can see the original place it was, at first glance i thought just an added label but looking at the label it says kakt rallye ,i looked this up and the rally was in the years 1965,1966,1967,1968,1969 and there were minis involved bmc mini coopers,so theres an outside chance this label was for this mini so i thought i would check in here to see if anyone has heard of it,or know the label from another car.
the mini is a bright orange one with orange borders on the racing number

Anything's possible, but I'm a little unhappy with the idea of a promotional issue retaining those stupid door labels.

Nick’s guide says the orange-red colour appeared in 1973. Is that too late for this rally?

The rally carried on(still going on) but its name changed so the hope for this being a promotional model are slipping fast(like the label lol)
I think the label itself is from the 1970,s but what its off is a mystery and hopefully the answer will turn up so i will keep this oddity for now
