“It was great to finally find a garage that only works on ‘proper’ Minis! Dan was very patient and listened to all my questions and concerns. He was able to address them fully and explain clearly what needed to be fixed. This gave me the confidence to go ahead. When collecting my car I was taken through all the work that had been done. This explanation was much appreciated. Dan even made sure that I had enough petrol to get home. A big thank you to Dan and his team for working on my car and giving me the confidence to drive it around again.”

“Dan is super honest, great to work with and has become a friend over the years. He also makes a mean cup of tea! But in all seriousness, the team at The Real Mini Company know what they’re doing – you’ll know what you’re going to get and when it’s supposed to happen. They are approachable, very responsive and you’ll get a solid end product, whether a half or full restoration project like ours, that will stand up to being driven. Great quality workmanship at a very good price – not cheap, but good! I would highly recommend them for any classic Mini restoration. ”

“If you’re looking for a company that has absolute attention to detail, as close to factory as possible, then The Real Mini Company is for you. Get yourself on the waiting list… it’s definitely worth the wait.”

“Dad and I were super impressed with The Real Mini Company and have built up an amazing relationship with the owner, Dan, during the shell restoration of our Mini. Nothing was ever too much - Dan and his team were always there for any query, were very knowledgeable and the quality of their work is phenomenal. When providing updates, these were consistent and always accompanied by photos, which is a help when you’re not local.”

“The level of service at The Real Mini Company is absolutely amazing. Everyone is really friendly, nothing ever too much of a bother and the whole process, from start to finish, was absolutely on ball. 10 out of 10!”

“When we dropped our Mini Cooper in for a front end rebuild it came as a real shock to see how the rest of the body was once Daniel, Les and the team stripped him back. However they worked their magic and totally worked through all of the car saving panels where they could. I have to say the welding (original double sided spot welding) and finish is 100%. Well done in operating a really fab service and quality of workmanship. For Mini’s I cannot recommend anyone of a higher standard.”

“Dan and his team are everything you need from start to finish, I can’t recommend them enough.”

“Just driven my Cooper home and I am truly delighted. The gearbox feels nice and positive now and it’s so nice not having to worry about her slipping out of gear any more! She does drive extremely well....thank you so much. You and your team have done a splendid job as usual.”

“The more time we spend with you, the happier we are that we chose you to restore Denzil. Your attention to detail and high standards give us a great deal of confidence, so thank you. ”

“Before I found The Real Mini Company, I often felt despair when I looked at the gradual deterioration of the car. Seeing it emerge from the dented grubby rusty state it was in is really good and exciting. You really are perfectionists. So glad I found you.”

“Good workmanship and excellent customer service and communication”
