To celebrate the Minis anniversary, Wood&Picket, Mini modifiers and coachbuilders to rock stars, fashion icons and royalty since the 50's, have secured the rights to press and manufacture 50 original minis from scratch using the original tooling from the Austin factory which they secured during the buyout/bin sale of Rover's assets (ie these are British Minis not the BMW ones).
I saw one of these at Goodwood and they are stunning. So anybody who fancies being one of just 50 people to be driving a totally brand new old style mini, you'll just need 26k.

Thats pretty cool. Now I just have to find my cheque book.
- The finished thing is lovely. Like a tiny Rolls Royce inside.Horp

Seen some of Wood & Pickets work before it's really top class stuff as Horp said. Lot of money for a mini tho..

had a look at the site. They do look amazing though. I might have to get a bit of work in though to be able to afford one. Or stick to my rusting cooper.

A lot of money likes, even if you completely rebuilt an original it wouldnt cost anywhere near like that.
You are paying for a Ltd Edition - 1 of 50 though.
