David Brown's Mini Remastered is a modern classic Mini that gives food for thought to various automakers as to how a living Legend can be revived today... And yet the answer may be yes!

This is a little gem on wheels. Everything has been done right from the start, with the frame adopting more welds than the conventional version of the Mini with huge gains in stiffness, road behavior, the lightning changes of direction.
Under the tiny front hood lives and breathes the now improved 4-cylinder petrol engine 1.275 etc. who attended the latest Mini classics back to 2000, with electronic management, better breathing and 50% more power (power over 100 horsepower). Box, suspension and brakes have been specially developed for this successful reincarnation in the modern era.
Within, except for the expensive leather and wood, you will come across keyless entry and engine start system, USB port, information and entertainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as a touch screen. Oh yes, the ultimate modernization for the classic Mini, which in the past adopted only the essentials in the compact cabin!
The Mini Remastered will be built at Silverstone and will be handcrafted, painting will be completed within four weeks, while it was estimated that it takes a thousand hours of work to take its final form. More, at Top Marques in Monaco on 20 April, where the two available versions will be presented “Inspired by Cafe Racers” and “Inspired by Monte Carlo”, with a price close to 60.000 euro.
