Tolman, a classic car restoration shop, recently completed a stunning restomod of a 1968 Mini Cooper S. The project aimed to blend the charm of the original with modern driving comforts and performance. Key upgrades include fuel injection, a bespoke exhaust, Bilstein dampers, and an improved braking system.
Fuel injection, almost 100hp, Bilstein dampers and Bluetooth for Tolman 's mega MiniThey’re busy boys and girls at Tolman right now. There are apparently fourin build, set for completion next year; we’ll see two more '80s icons recommissioned in 2025 as well. And the end of this year is being marked in some style, too, as its latest 'one-off' build, a 1968 Mini Cooper S , has just been completed.
Extra goodies for the chassis include ditching the hydroelastic suspension for KAD adjustable tie rods and Bilstein dampers, ATEC CNC brake lines and Dunlop Aquajet tyres. The latter deliberately chosen to make sure the Cooper S isn’t overly grippy - ‘lively when driven hard’ is the promise, which sounds excellent.
