Classic Mini Cooper S RESTOMOD by Tolman looks a hoot

December 19, 2024 By Cars UK

Brakes are still discs front and drums rear but with ATEC CNC brake lines, period-style 10″ Dunlop rubber, a boost in power to 90bhp and 80lb/ft of torque and a four-speed ‘box for authenticity, with fuel injection, stainless steel exhaust and a fully electronic engine management system.

Many original parts were retained, including brightwork, headlining, and paint, but with leather seats and a refurbished Webasto roof, LED lights, Bluetooth, a rev counter, and rust and chip-proofing.

Chris Tolman said:

The Mini is already a famously fun and practical car to own, our job was to take these attributes to the next level. In keeping with our previous projects, our team’s decades of motorsports experience have not been used to create the fastest Mini possible – instead we’ve been tasked with the greater challenge of enhancing what made the car special in the first place.
