They don’t make them that anymore? Well!
Nowadays there is a lot to be restorated in car land. The newest upgraded classic is a mini as made between 1984 and 1990. This time, none other than top designer Ian Callum has been involved.
Do you find the minis of today too great, but the earlier models are too archaic? Then you can already turn to David Brown Automotive for a modernized variant. Now Callum – the company of former Jaguar and Aston Martin designer Ian Callum – with a so -called Restomod based on a mini. The English Wood & Pickett has also interfered with the little one. Wood and Pickett is not a stranger in mini-country. In the form of Van de Margarve in the 60s and 70s, it also delivered dressed minis.
The Wood and Pickett Mini by Callum – as the modernized Mini is called – is based on a mini of the fifth generation, the Mk.v that was built between 1984 and 1990. In particular, the variant serves as a basis with the optional sports pack. That immediately explains in which the Wood and Pickett MINI by Callum has wide wheelcases.
The cleaned up minis have a new front bumper, side skirts, LED lighting on both front and back and are given a striking set of alloy slippers. At the bottom of the rear, two exhaust end pieces proudly point slightly up. In the minis you will find a completely new dashboard, complete with extra clocks and even a real infotainment system. We see leather on the dashboard, on the steering wheel, on the door panels and on the cheerful black and white checkered seats.
Doesn’t that look crazy at all?
Under the hood is a 1,310 cc small four -cylinder petrol engine that, according to Callum, comes from rally sport. The block delivers 112 hp and sends those horses a new gearbox to the front wheels. The chassis is revised, the little ones get disc brakes random and are better insulated than the original.
Every Wood and Pickett Mini by Callum can be put together completely to taste. The starting price is almost € 88,000.
