Wood & Pickett Mini by Callum

The Mini has long been a symbol of British innovation and charm, and the new Wood & Pickett Mini by CALLUM takes that legacy into the modern era with style and precision. This limited-run restomod is the brainchild of legendary designer Ian Callum and the heritage-rich coachbuilders at Wood & Pickett, best known for their iconic Margrave Minis of the 1960s.

Built on a restored Mk5 Sportspack shell, the car features updated aerodynamics with redesigned valances, bold arches, and custom lighting. Under the hood, a rebuilt 1.3L Stage 3 engine delivers 110 hp through a reengineered gearbox, giving this tiny powerhouse serious performance. A road-tuned suspension kit and vented disc brakes ensure modern driving dynamics, while exclusive 13-inch CALLUM-designed wheels round out the package.

Inside, it is all bespoke luxury. A redesigned dash, inspired by the original Margrave Minis, blends analog charm with modern tech like Apple CarPlay. The interior also features CALLUM-trimmed seats, metal bezels, and a distinctive "piano" switch panel, creating a refined, driver-focused cabin.

Each Mini is hand-built in the UK with prices starting at £75,000 ($95,000). No two will be alike, as buyers work directly with CALLUM to customize every detail. With craftsmanship, performance, and history in perfect balance, the Wood & Pickett Mini by CALLUM is a restomod masterpiece made for those who appreciate timeless design reimagined for today.
