In 1967 Paddy Hopkirk again drove for the Vita racing team in races televised as part of a rallycross series. At Lydden Hill, in September, he finished second to a Hillman Imp. In the Race of Champions at Brands Hatch, in March, Harry Ratcliffe failed to finish while, in the Silverstone International Trophy event the following month, BMC Works driver Tony Fall, driving a Vita Mini, came home 13th and performed even better at Mallory Park, in May, finishing sixth. In the Martini Trophy event at Silverstone, later in the month, neither Tony Fall nor Harry Ratcliffe was placed. However, in October, at the Guards Motor Show 200 race at Brands Hatch, the last race of the season, Harry came home in eighth place.
