Our Journey from Renting to Owning

Celebrating Our Growth and Progress in Classic Mini Restoration

After founding the business in 2007 to restore Classic Minis to their former glory, The Real Mini Company moved to Berinsfield in November 2011.  Nestled in the heart of South Oxfordshire, which has since been its cherished home, we are now thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our journey – the purchase of our beloved premises!

A Look Back at Our Humble Beginnings

As we celebrate this momentous occasion, it's only fitting to take a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Our journey began over a decade ago when we moved into our current premises. Back then, it was just a rented space filled with dreams and a few rusty Minis waiting to be restored.

One glance at old photos is enough to transport us back in time. The garage was dimly lit, the floors were stained with oil and grease, and the walls echoed with the clatter of tools and the hum of engines being brought back to life.

The Real Mini Company's Transformation

Over the years, our dedication to restoring classic Minis has remained unwavering. We poured countless hours of hard work and passion into each project that rolled into our garage. From painstakingly sourcing rare parts to meticulously reassembling every component, our team left no stone unturned to ensure that every Mini we touched left our workshop better than it arrived.

As the years went by, our reputation grew. Mini enthusiasts and collectors from near and far sought us out for our expertise.

Becoming Proud Property Owners

Now, in 2023, we are thrilled to announce that we have taken a giant step forward in our journey. The opportunity arose for us to purchase the very building that has been our home for more than a decade. It's a moment we've been eagerly waiting for, and it symbolizes our commitment to the future.

Our premises, once just a rented space filled with dreams, are now officially ours. It's a place where generations of Minis have found new life and where countless memories have been made. This acquisition marks a new chapter in our story, one that we can't wait to fill with more classic Mini restorations and adventures.

What Lies Ahead for The Real Mini Company?

With this significant milestone achieved, we are more committed than ever to our mission of preserving the legacy of classic Minis. Our newly acquired premises will serve as the hub of our operations, where we'll continue to restore these iconic cars with the same passion and dedication that has defined us for over a decade.

We're excited to share this journey with all of you and to continue being a part of the worldwide community that cherishes these timeless classics.

Thank you for being a part of The Real Mini Company's journey so far. We can't wait to see where the road takes us next, but one thing is for certain – it will be filled with Minis, memories, and a whole lot of passion.

Stay tuned for more updates, restorations, and Mini magic. The Real Mini Company is here to stay, and we're only getting started!
