A British icon reborn

CALLUM has joined forces with bespoke coachbuilders Wood & Pickett to reimagine a British automotive icon, the classic Mini. The result? A car that masterfully balances heritage, performance and modern design sensibilities.

Built on a fully restored Mk5 Sportspack shell, this redefinition of the Mini pays homage to its coachbuilt past while embracing contemporary craftsmanship. The exterior is completely reworked, featuring bespoke front and rear valances, aerodynamic side sills and a subtly reengineered rear design. A proprietary Anthracite metallic finish adds a sleek, modern edge, while redesigned lighting and original Wood & Pickett arches bring authenticity and flair.

Inside, the transformation continues. Inspired by the legendary Margrave interiors, the dashboard is entirely new, complemented by a tactile ‘Piano’ switch pack and finely detailed metal bezels. CALLUM-trimmed bespoke front seats and a retrimmed rear bench elevate the cabin’s comfort and style. High-grade carpeting and advanced soundproofing materials further enhance the driving experience.

Performance has been thoroughly modernised. Under the bonnet sits a rebuilt 1310cc Stage 3 road/rally engine producing 110 bhp, matched with a retuned ECU and updated gearbox. A bespoke twin-exit exhaust and upgraded cylinder head ensure this Mini sounds as good as it goes. Road-tuned suspension, vented and grooved disc brakes and specially developed 13” alloy wheels complete the package.

With heritage in its bones and innovation in its veins, the Wood & Pickett Mini by CALLUM is no ordinary restomod, it's a love letter to driving, design and British automotive history.
