In the September Issue: The Hit Machine | The Mini Has Been Remastered by David Brown Automotive

Seeing “remastered” branded across a favorite record can stir up all kinds of feelings. Did they make it better or, more likely, worse? They must have messed it up, you think, shedding the original textures and muddling the mix.

Sometimes, though, a redo comes out just perfectly.

Can that same magic be applied to a four-wheeled classic? When the right firm grabs the right car, the answer, fortunately, can be yes.

Francis Robertson-Marriott at David Brown Automotive explains the procedure: “Either you will bring us a classic Mini with the paperwork, or we will find you one. The state of the car is not important, because we change pretty much everything.”
