MORE THAN A FEELING Indulge your senses and awaken your soul.
TAKE A MINUTE TO BREATHE. THERE’S NO HURRY. RELAX, THIS MOMENT BELONGS TO YOU. ADJUST THE MIRRORS AND SLIP ON THOSE SOFT LEATHER DRIVING GLOVES. CHECK FOR NEUTRAL. GENTLY GRIP THE WHEEL AND LET THE ENERGY FLOW.

Your senses are alive with information. The smell of the leather, the cool feel of the knurled switches and the sound of the raspy exhaust note. There is a rawness to this experience. You feel special, unique and humbled. You’re at one with the machine.
It’s so much more than a feeling.
DRIVING EMOTION

TECHNOLOGY
LABOUR OF LOVE Mini Remastered by David Brown Automotive has been painstakingly handcrafted to create a contemporary design classic.
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 has improved structural integrity and comfort. A hand-applied paint process that lasts for four weeks 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.
