David Brown Automotive is introducing what looks to be one of the most amazing classic Minis ever produced. The idea was to embrace the DNA of the classic Mini while re-engineering it to meet modern needs.

While the pictures say a lot, lets let David Brown Automotive tell the full story:

A Classic Mini Remastered

Inspired by Sir Alec Issigonis’ classic icon, our experienced design and engineering teams worked meticulously to remaster the vision to create a contemporary design classic.

De-seamed, strengthened and sound-proofed throughout, Mini Remastered not only looks great, but has improved structural integrity and comfort. The clean and elegant lines of Mini Remastered are brought to life with sculpted body-coloured wheel arch extensions and centrally-mounted exhaust outlets, providing the car with a classic, yet dynamic stance.

A hand-applied paint process that lasts for four weeks, ensures that every car is not only flawlessly finished but protected for a lifetime. Finished with beautiful badges which are handcrafted using traditional die-sinking enamel techniques, every detail has been considered.

Jewel-like LED rear light clusters and indicators, framed by bespoke aluminium surrounds, alongside the signature aluminium grille take inspiration from the David Brown Automotive design language, whilst chrome bullet-style door-mounted wing mirrors with integrated LED puddle lamps bring function and style together.

A Mini Retreat

The interior of Mini Remastered by David Brown Automotive offers comfort and conveniences for the modern day in a bespoke, handcrafted cabin. With a premium in-car infotainment system, operated via a 7″ touchscreen interface, offering Bluetooth® connectivity alongside Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®. Interior courtesy lighting extends to the glove compartment which houses an integrated USB/AUX port enabling convenient charging and connectivity.

Full-grain, British-sourced leather upholstery sumptuously adorns the cabin throughout and is discreetly embossed with the David Brown Automotive logo on the front and rear seats.
Illuminated modern dials with classic styling, knurled aluminium switchgear and classic Mota-Lita® steering wheel are elegant and tactile to the touch.

Wired for Life

Designed to meet modern demands, Mini Remastered by David Brown Automotive incorporates a sophisticated infotainment system, controlled by a 7” touchscreen. Navigating the hustle and bustle of the city whilst listening to your favourite music through the car’s refined speaker system.

Labour of Love

With mass-production comes compromise. By contrast, our low-volume, handcrafted Mini Remastered is built to the highest standards using a combination of traditional coachbuilding techniques and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes.

Our engineers scrutinise all aspects of the car from the ground up. The result is a completely new structure and exterior body shell, that not only offers classic, clean styling but improved rigidity, sound-proofing and reliability. Over 1,000 man hours go into creating each Mini Remastered.

More Power

The original engine has undergone a complete transformation, having been completely rebuilt with brand new parts throughout and tuned to perfection. The standard car now produces 30% more power than the original unit. The engines outer body has been cleaned and painted, whilst the oil filler cap and filter are colour coded with the cars exterior paint selection.

The power increase is perfectly mated to a manual five speed transmission that channels the cars energy through every shift and encouraging you to change gear, simply for the pleasure of it.
