DBA Mini Remastered Oselli Edition Officially Launched With 125 HP, £98,000 Starting Price

David Brown Automotive (DBA) has completed the assembly of the first units of the Mini Remastered Oselli Edition.

Presented in 2019 and limited to 60 cars, a nod to the 60 years since the original Mini rolled off the line in 1959, it is available with two or four seats, from £98,000 (equal to $138,085) and £108,000 ($152,175) respectively, excluding tax, in the United Kingdom.

Power is supplied by an upgraded version of the A-Series 1,420 cc engine with twin carburetors that pumps out 125 HP at 6,200 rpm and 113 lb-ft (153 Nm) of torque at 4,500 rpm. The mill is connected to a five-speed manual transmission, helping the car hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 7.8 seconds. A four-speed automatic gearbox is also offered, albeit with the 1,380 cc mill.

The exterior can be hand-painted in different finishes, such as Carbon Grey and Old English White base, accented by the Competition Red, Royal Blue or Heritage Green. It features the number ‘60’ on the grille, full LED lights with auxiliary spotlights, and a leather and Alcantara-trimmed cockpit.

DBA announced that Williams Formula One team reserve driver Jack Aitken is the face of the Mini Remastered Oselli Edition. “The young racing star, who is a true Mini devotee having personally owned a version of the classic city car for a number of years, is announced as a David Brown Automotive Brand Ambassador for the launch of the performance car”, the company said.
