The team at Mini Sport, known for their extraordinary expertise in Mini restoration, approached 'True Blue' with a vision – to revive the classic while steering it into the future. This wasn't going to be just another restoration project; it was set to be a groundbreaking venture into the world of electric vehicles (EV).

The transformation was meticulous. Mini Sport's commitment to preserving the Mini’s essence was evident in every step. They meticulously maintained the original chassis and bodywork, ensuring the car's soul remained untouched. The real magic, however, lay in the pioneering electric conversion. Integrating a custom-designed EV system into a Mk1 Mini for the first time ever, Mini Sport crafted a perfect blend of classic allure and modern innovation.

The result of this transformation was nothing short of breathtaking. 'True Blue' emerged as a recharged classic, buzzing with a new kind of energy. The electric conversion meant smoother rides, instant torque, and a silent, emission-free journey, redefining the driving experience while being eco-friendly.

What truly set Mini Sport apart in this project was their commitment to personalisation and detail. From the electric power steering system to the quick-release steering wheel boss, and the 8-speaker Bluetooth stereo, every addition was tailored to the owner's preferences. Modern conveniences like the magnetic phone holder and charger were seamlessly integrated, ensuring that the vehicle met the demands of contemporary driving without losing its vintage charm.
