David Brown Automotive has released more details of the Mini Remastered Oselli Edition, a high-performance limited-edition variant of the restomodded classic Mini that was first announced back in 2019. The company is getting ready for the production of the new Oselli Edition model, which has been developed in collaboration with classic car performance specialist Oselli. The first customer examples expected out of the workshop by the end of April.
Under the bonnet, you’ll find an upgraded
version of the A-Series engine, which has grown to 1,45 liters in capacity and
is fed by twin SU carburetors, among other upgrades. It’s also paired with a
five-speed gearbox. DBA is still keeping the output figures for itself but says
it will reveal them soon.
DBA’s hottest Mini restomod also comes
with upgraded suspension and braking, as well as wider 13-inch Enkei wheels
shod in stickier tires to further sharpen the handling. Customers of the new
Oselli Edition are able to spec their new restomod Minis in either two- or
four-seat configurations, with the two-seater featuring bucket seats and a
hand-wrapped roll cage in the rear.
DBA previously said that the Mini
Remastered Oselli Edition will be produced in just 60 examples, with prices
starting from a rather faint-inducing £ 98,000 (US$ 135k).
