Classic Mini Remastered by David Brown Automotive

[@miniac91]

This is inspirational to say the least. I'm ready to get out in the garage and get to work. Love that interior.

[@m.chagaev.8589]

the David brown mini : the proof that, all nice things that the middle class once had have been taken away by the rich.

[@jamesdarnley8584]

What a stupid comment.

[@rua1972]

I love this, except the backlights though.

[@wickiezulu]

Agreed. They could have found a way to integrate the original backlights into the body similar to what was proposed for the Project Ant aka Barrel Car Mini prototype (not to mention the updated front end of the proposal in question would have significantly improved engine accessibility amongst other things if they were inclined).

[@UKUAPGUY]

A fantastic build imagine if this was the New Mini rather than the bmw offering

[@anju-andrukat]

GEE FILMS BMW, boo !

[@zahemi914]

True.. you really feel the real retro and going back in time with style

[@ralfhenke8148]

Best interior of any car ever. Period.

[@EA-58]

Nothing beats the Original.

[@raymondchadman7999]

A true masterpiece ,master craftsmanship ,A beauty indeed ,I would love ownership of one of these ,well dine Mr. Brown

[@derlukas8182]

I like it by far more than the BMW new Mini

[@doloresmyatt9737]

hi, very nice mini that catch's a taste of the 50's it reminds me of a modern fiat 500 take of the old 500, when a mini is deseamed you can see how close it looks to 1950 morris and austins in its lines (if you forget its flat roof) most mini rebuilders do the same thing big wide wheels stuck as far out as the arches will allow, engine update for more power white roof, stripes , racing seat etc. therefore another mini done up to look like the rest of them joins the road and yet there is so much more you can do to improve the look of your mini with just a bit of imagination. thanks dolores

[@christopherward5065]

Good looking, it takes away the budget low-fi features and adds perfect panel fit, pristine finish and quality detailing. The new features that are modern don’t look out of place. If it has modern reliability it’s a perfect bargain.

[@craigwythe4581]

Wow I would love this car

[@gokulkumar2418]

Would love to own one of these . Wish I could get them in India

[@truthseeker8483]

Nice work! A fun stylish car for inner city driving.

[@EvendimataE]

that is exactly how the modern mini should look like, very close exterior look to the classic but with modern technology to improve the performance

[@michaelwhite8031]

Superb !!!!!!!!!!!

[@andrewmarsden1970]

Wonderful.

[@jonigudel2024]

Owesome build..😊

[@martinvanwinkel1719]

beauty.

[@stevenreynolds3673]

At least bow mini is affordable , this is a rich mans toy totally not what classic mini was all about

[@Benjamoose]

Agreed. It's a real shame all around, because having a new company preserve the classic Mini in a new release is a great idea (similar to the revival in the 90s), but 80K? Ludicrous. The worst part is, it doesn't look substantially different from the classic (which is obviously a good thing), so while it's a lovingly built modern iteration, most people on the street aren't even going to see the pound value as it drives on by. It feels like it fails on two fronts: - It's not going to revive/create a new generation of classic roadworthy Minis, because it's too expensive for the average consumer. - It's doesn't work as a rich man's flashy toy, because to the average Joe on the street, it barely looks noticeable different as it whizzes by. I wish someone would do something like this, create a modern-standard classic Mini in an affordable price range. At this price range, you could literally just buy an ACTUAL classic Mini in great condition and then upgrade the internals and externals to modern tech for far cheaper.

[@p24hrsmith]

While I think this is an awesome Mini and I can appreciate that a limited production hand-built car would cost a lot extra but £75k (according to David Brown website for this model) that's a bit steep. If you look at something like the Morgan which are limited production hand-built car's they're around £40k. For this sort of money I would have also expected it to be a hatchback (which was something that the Mini should have come as originally, Austin even made 3 prototype hatchback's) which would have made it even more up to date and a lot more practical.

[@legojw1]

frame edge is gone. so nice!

[@jimclarke1108]

Great taste

[@DickyWijaya]

Mantabs betul guys

[@MrAbowker]

Have look at project binky on youtube for another take on a handcrafted mini with all mod cons.

[@dylanvitas]

A car that once costed around 1500 pounds new is now going out for 100.000

[@matthijsgerretse3217]

The original Austin Cooper Seven was for sale in 1959 for around 500 pounds in the UK, now convince me to agree on you that this is rightfully 200 times that amount.

[@billetsteed]

The first Coopers weren't debuted until 1961, actually.

[@petelattimer6808]

correct. I forget the figure but the original mini sold at under £500. Ford bought one, stripped it down and couldn't see how British Leyland (as they became known later) made ANY profit on them!

[@charlesabbott2784]

Ever heard of inflation?

[@francinebilodeau2542]

C est quoi le code de la couleur merci vert pale

[@raychambers3646]

It's still a mini (just) for that money you could get a decent car ,reminds me of a harry Enfield's sketch ,does it come with a chauffeur?

[@zahemi914]

Somehow, i really like this original mini look without the today's cluttered gadgets.. easy breazzy just like the old days.. if only the price is cheaper than JCW

[@MrMaahes]

Anybody knows the song from the beginning?

[@copperkipper1]

Ugly rear lights Ugly side indicator Ugly deseaming Ugly front indicator lens What has happened to the sills? Have they been re-engineered to ensure they can't rot from the inside out? they look like dreaded oversills Nice interior yes...but £100k? Standard drivetrain This is no singer porsche 911 "reimagined" £50k will get you two Mini Cooper S and they will hold their value.

[@petelattimer6808]

some like the deseaming, others don't. my dad ran minis in the 70s and it was the 'in' thing to do. and if the drivetrain is the same as the originals from 2000 and before, then I think 130MPH on the clock is beyond enthusiastic! (unless you have fitted a 5 speed box, supercharger and have a higher rev limit through a better built engine, stronger valve springs etc)

[@DutchDukeMan]

front indicators look like popped zits

[@avivscrewvalla]

You could just get a Limited edition Mini Cooper with factory wooden dash, leather seats, air-conditioning, fuel injection in a very capable engine and rocking paint job. All for just under < £20K. Just google Mini LE 35th edition!

[@stephenphoenix-roberts9447]

I want one.

[@darrynwalker268]

what colour is that green?

[@darrynwalker268]

its almost the same as the land rover sage green

[@MrConstanzo]

Ok how $

[@Redveto]

It's very expensive it's like a modern day wood and picket from the sixty's only the really rich could afford them too

[@johno4521]

Mechanical spec? For 100k it's gonna be something special, right?

[@alexanderdcossey9146]

not particularly, its the 1275 engine with fuel injection but pretty sure its still got the 4 speed in sump gearbox

[@graemesydney38]

Air conditioned?

[@phillwhite1531]

where do i pay??????????????????

[@AP-hk8vh]

What fool would not just restore it themselves at a fraction than pay for overloaded hipster rendition.

[@laurenzolau2666]

Because this is not a restore, this is a rebuild.

[@bradleyrichards325]

Anyone know the prices of these?

[@lj03oem]

shmee150 did a piece on these,seems about £100,000 is the going rate.

[@bradleyrichards325]
