History
David Brown Automotive (DBA) launched the Mini Remastered in 2017 as a hand-built, luxury-finished version of the original Mini. Each car has about 1400 hours of work, 400 of them on paint.
Two special editions, 'Inspired by Café Racers' and 'Inspired by Monte Carlo', were to launch the car at the Top Marques Monaco show in April 2017. Production was planned at 50-100 cars a year, and early demand was far higher than that.
