Frenette (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

Frenette was a British automotive manufacturer active for a brief period from 1981 to 1982. Founded by Peter Frenette in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, the company specialized in producing a unique variant of the Mini Moke known as the Californian replica.

The most distinctive feature of the Frenette vehicles was their stainless steel body, which set them apart from other models of the Mini Moke. The mechanical components of the cars were entirely derived from the original Mini, ensuring familiarity in performance and maintenance for enthusiasts of the classic British car.

Despite its short operational lifespan, Frenette contributed to the niche market of custom and replica vehicles during the early 1980s, showcasing innovative materials in automotive design.
