We"ll assume you know the brilliant background story behind the original Mini. We"ll also assume that you"ve become used to seeing different companies attempt to bring them back to their former glory in the modern day. Like this David Brown Automotive remastered version. Or BMW"s own electrified attempt. A team of specialists from Swindon have now done their own EV take: welcome to the Swind E Classic Mini. This one packs an 80kw electric motor (that"s around 110bhp in old money) and a floor-mounted battery pack that"ll provide 125 miles of range. That"s more than enough for a few hot-laps of the city and almost double the standard set by BMW.
