Wood and Pickett to Launch New Car to Celebrate 50 years of the Mini

Wood & Pickett Margrave 50

Famous for custom built Minis in the 1960’s Wood and Pickett is to launch a new car.

The WP Margrave 50 will be a limited edition run of up to 50 cars, hand built and registered in 2009 in celebration of fifty years of the Mini.

Each Margrave will be individually numbered and certificated with a unique plaque for each car. In addition, the WP Margrave 50 will come with a hand crafted leather case to house the cars certificate, sales leaflet, service record and handbook. Wood and Pickett are also in discussion with Corgi to create a limited edition run of the model in a WP presentation box.

Wood and Pickett have adopted an Italian flavour with the colours, for example the first car will be Margrave Rosso (red), other colour options will include Margrave Bianco (white), Margrave Nero (black), Margrave Verde Scuro (dark green) and Margrave Blu Scuro (dark blue).
