David Brown Automotive who apparently reworked an Aston Martin a few years ago, have now reworked a Mini. 

 

Apart from the odd rear lights, I think it looks really good. Love the interior.  :gimme:

A bit expensive though..

I absolutely love that. Some nice subtle changes, but that interior is gorgeous, very nicely done. I even like the rear lights.

Yes would like if they made the interior alone. Wouldn't mind that in my MPI! Do you know if a dashboard like that is available from anywhere?

That interior! Surprised how much I like this, saw the title and instantly thought "Oh here we go" but I love it, feel like those rear lights are a guilty pleasure too  :shy:

Just in case there are those who don't know what David Brown cars are (no relation to the original David Brown who made tractors, hence the DB in DB5) here is a link to more images of the minis and his Speedback GT

Very nice, now all I need is that lottery win and my order will go in. Only surprise is that they have not fitted a five speed box wonder if that is an option.

Bucking the trend here.. (Someone has to :lol: )

Not a fan at all, that back is just wrong imo.

Now a 60's trickett style sprint with modern leather interior, but subtle exterior, that might get the 70k..

No wing protection when fitting a somewhat standard MPi engine?

Scroll down a bit and it says:-

Livin' For The City

"The original engine has undergone a complete transformation, having been completely rebuilt with brand new parts throughout and tuned to perfection. The standard car now produces 30% more power than the original unit. The engines outer body has been cleaned and painted, whilst the oil filler cap and filter are colour coded with the cars exterior paint selection.

The power increase is perfectly mated to a manual five speed transmission that channels the cars energy through every shift and encouraging you to change gear, simply for the pleasure of it."
