In a world where bigger is often better, it’s nice to see the classic Mini<\/a> continue to thrive. There’s a new limited-run restomod available, a collaboration between Callum design, from famed designer Ian Callum<\/a>, and the firm behind the Margrave Mini from the 1960s, Wood and Pickett. And the very first example looks excellent.<\/p>\n The car is based on the Mk5 Sportspack Mini, but features several unique visual touches, such as the completely reimagined lighting housings. It also has a redesigned rear end, unique valances, and bolder wheel arches, which improve the car’s aerodynamics and cooling capabilities. It rides on 13-inch Callum-designed alloy wheels with 8.4-inch vented and grooved brake discs.<\/p>\n Powering the car is a “newly rebuilt” 1.3-liter “Stage 3 road\/rally engine” good for 100 horsepower, with a retuned ECU and a “reengineered” transmission. The engine features twin-point injection and a “new performance cylinder head,” while an upswept twin-exit exhaust system pokes out the back. Keeping things comfortable is a “road-tuned suspension kit.”<\/p>\n Inside, the Mini has a new dashboard that takes inspiration from Wood and Picket’s Margrave Minis. It includes a row of analog dials, a small screen with Apple CarPlay<\/a>, and a row of physical switches for the lights, hazards, and other vehicle functions.<\/p>\n Each Mini is hand-built and costs \u00a375,000 to start (around $103,000 at today’s exchange rate), with no two builds alike. Customers will be able to work closely with the Callum design team to personalize their Mini.<\/p>\n This Jaguar E-Type Restomod Does the Original Proud<\/a> Source: Callum Design<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a world where bigger is often better, it’s nice to see the classic Mini continue to thrive.
