Mini Remastered
DAVID BROWN AUTOMOTIVE - David Brown Automotive is delighted to announce
that it has partnered with LINLEY to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee,
uniting two iconic British brands that sit at the pinnacle of craftsmanship,
design and luxury.
To mark this momentous event in British
history, an example of David Brown Automotive’s Mini Remastered will be
displayed in LINLEY’s flagship London showroom in Belgravia, set amongst their
exquisite furniture and painstakingly crafted decorative pieces. David Brown
Automotive’s Mini Remastered - a modern example of one of Britain’s most loved
automotive designs, handbuilt at its high-technology facility at Silverstone -
will be on show in the capital’s heartland of design and decorative arts, for
one month from now.
The Mini Remastered in question will sport a
fitting specification for the Queen’s 70th
Jubilee, with a refined, unmistakably British specification: finished in David
Brown Automotive’s own modern take on the classic hue of Old English White,
complemented by a Union Flag-adorned, hand-painted roof. Just as with the
immaculate finish of LINLEY products, the gleaming paint of this Mini
Remastered is perfected over hundreds of hours by David Brown Automotive’s
expert automotive technicians.
Each David Brown Automotive creation, whether
Mini Remastered, the ultra high-performance Mini Remastered, Oselli Edition, or
Speedback GT grand tourer, is entirely handbuilt in accordance with the rich
tradition of British coachbuilding. As with every LINLEY piece crafted, each
Mini Remastered which leaves the David Brown Automotive’s build facility is
imbued with a depth of engineering and quality, using the very finest
materials.
LINLEY Creative Director, Michael Keech,
said:
“This Jubilee partnership will unite two
British companies that are closely aligned in their values, driven by a passion
to create design led, carefully handcrafted and peerlessly engineered products;
whether a handbuilt, modernised Mini Remastered or a LINLEY hand-finished
bespoke cabinet – both also delight in tradition whilst fitting seamlessly into
modern life.
“LINLEY and David Brown Automotive are both
focussed on taking luxury design to new heights, they are also committed to
nurturing Britain’s rich tradition of handcraftsmanship.”
Michelle Gay, Sales & Marketing
Director at David Brown Automotive, said:
“From the expertly trained coachbuilders who
leave their individual mark on each motor car that is born in our Silverstone
build facility, to the master joiners and woodworkers that artfully elevate
each LINLEY object; we think it’s crucial to preserve the uniquely British
discipline of artisan, handbuilt creations.
“This country has a long history of products
that combine design ingenuity and beauty, with the utmost quality and
craftsmanship. We like to think that a bespoke, entirely rebuilt Mini
Remastered or a hand-finished LINLEY piece continues this proud lineage;
standing out as emblems of what Britain’s world-leading craftspeople can
produce. At the time of Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, it feels
fitting to celebrate the rich artistry that exists in this country, and to
ensure it is nurtured and preserved for generations to come.”
David Brown Automotive and LINLEY’s show of
Britain’s design and craftsmanship will be displayed in the LINLEY showroom on
Pimlico Road throughout the month of June, as Jubilee celebrations unfold
around the country. Visitors are welcome to visit the showroom to view the Mini
Remastered, the full LINLEY collection and learn more about the partnership.
