Mini-Cooper 1.3

The Mini-Cooper was again available in July 1990 now with a 1275 cc engine as a special limited edition with some unique features. The most outstanding being bonnet stripes with a facsimile of John Cooper's signature and two driving lamps as standard. It featured black leather seats, steering wheel and carpets red in colour. 1,000 were built for the UK and 650 for Japan. September 1990 saw a mainstream version with a reduced specification. Now it had cloth seats and all interior fittings were in black and no sunroof. It had no bonnet stripes or driving lights. Production volume of the mainstream car amounted to 19,899, nearly 50 percent of Mini production during this period.
