Mini Remastered by David Brown Automotive has been painstakingly handcrafted to create a contemporary design classic.
30 Love Over Gold Exterior Finish / A Whiter Shade of Pale Roof Finish / Front Headlamps - Halogen CRAFTSMANSHIP
Inspired by Sir Alec Issigonis’ classic icon, our experienced design and engineering teams work meticulously to remaster the vision to meet the demands of modern life.
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. De-seamed, strengthened and sound-proofed throughout, Mini Remastered not only looks great, but offers refinement and comfort.
A full anti-corrosion E-coat, followed by a meticulous hand-applied paint process, taking over four weeks to complete, ensures that every car is not only flawlessly finished but protected for a lifetime. LIVIN’ FOR THE CITY
Punchy, dynamic and nimble. The perfect companion for around town.
Change lanes, turn heads and take on the city.
