For those of you who enjoyed our article on Race the Waves (our most popular article on the internet this year) we now go to the opposite end of the scale. Yorkshire Elegance is the most upmarket event in the north of England and features some of the rarest cars in the world. I know there are those who complain about how expensive it is, but, it is a bargain compared to the London Concours, and it compares favorably with their display. Here is what you can expect to see.
Wood & Pickett Mini by Callum
You may have seen in the media, – Ian Callum’s design house announcing the new “Wood & PIckett” MINI: a redefinition of the classic British icon…
Callum will be displaying the new build-to-order Mini at Yorkshire Elegance and it will be the first chance, other than a privileged few, to see the new car.
Ian Callum himself will be at Yorkshire Elegance to help with Concours Judging and to talk about his fantastic new motor which is built on a fully restored Mk5 Sportspack body shell. It incorporates an entirely bespoke design package, drawing on both Wood and Pickett’s coachbuilding legacy and CALLUM’s contemporary design expertise. The first car is due to be delivered to David Gandy shorly.
