wood & pickett mini by callum
Designed to Delight, Engineered to Drive.
A Modern Classic, Reimagined
The Wood and Pickett Mini by CALLUM is a redefinition of the classic British icon. Built on a fully restored Mk5 Sportspack body shell, it incorporates an entirely bespoke design package, drawing on both Wood and Pickett’s coachbuilding legacy and CALLUM’s contemporary design expertise.
Externally, the car boasts unique front and rear valances, side sills and an updated rear design, not just visually distinctive, but engineered for improved aerodynamics and cooling. The bespoke Anthracite metal finish, created through a proprietary CALLUM process, gives a strikingly modern twist to the Mini’s original charm. Lighting has been completely reimagined with new front and rear housings, while original Wood & Pickett arches lend authenticity.
Inside, the transformation is even more striking. A newly designed dashboard, inspired by Wood and Pickett’s famed “Margrave” interiors, blends retro influence with modern precision. A unique ‘Piano’ switch pack, finely finished metal bezels, and CALLUM-trimmed bespoke seats elevate the cabin’s aesthetic and tactile experience.

Engineered for the Enthusiast
Beneath the bonnet, performance meets precision. A newly rebuilt 1310cc Stage 3 road/rally engine delivers a 110 BHP, paired with a reengineered gearbox and re-tuned ECU for responsive power delivery. Highlights include a new performance cylinder head, twin-point injection, and a bespoke twin-exit exhaust system with a distinctive upswept tailpipe design.
Handling has been fine-tuned for modern comfort and control with a road tuned suspension kit, upgraded brakes featuring vented and grooved 8.4” discs, and CALLUM designed 13” alloy wheels developed specifically for the project. Improvements to noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) ensure that luxury meets performance in every mile.
“The Mini is one of the most important cars ever created not just for its innovative engineering, but for what it represents culturally as a symbol of British ingenuity and style. It’s a car that broke the rules and became a global icon. To reimagine it through the lens of CALLUM, with Wood and Pickett’s craftsmanship, has been deeply rewarding.”
— Ian Callum, design director at CALLUM
