Mini eMastered by David Brown Automotive | Driving an electric classic Mini in London

Late last year I had a couple of hours with the gorgeous Mini eMastered. Built by David Brown Automotive, this is a classic Mini which has been restored and modified, and has had its engine swapped out for an electric motor and battery.
Front-wheel-drive, the car produces about 97 horsepower and 129 ft-lbs of torque. Its has a claimed 0-62 mph (100km/h) time of 8.5 seconds and a top speed of 92 mph. The car weighs 640 kg - about the same as the original Mini - and has been equipped with a full leather interior, custom dashboard with Apple CarPlay integration, new metal switchgear and a polished wooden steering wheel.
I think looks gorgeous and could be the perfect car for London's busy streets. But at £125,000 (plus tax), it certainly isn't cheap.

You have no idea how much i would love this as a daily car but for $150,000?!? it's just not possible

Cute classic car… less cute price tag 😅. Must’ve been very fun to drive around in!

Very un-cute price! Still loved it though, perfect city car

The price is TOO high. You can buy a donor MINI for less than £6.5k, then get the electric conversion kit from the the now many suppliers world-wide. You have loads of interior and exterior parts to choose from. All less than $£50k. So that £150k price tag is unrealistic for us mere mortals.😂
