In April 1982, a further revision was carried out - the Mini 1000 HLE was introduced and replaced the former top model Mini 1000 HL. The 1000 Series engine was given a higher compression (10.3:1) and a longer drive ratio (2.95:1) with the aim of improving petrol consumption. The engine now generated 40 hp at 5000 rpm. The price for the revised version with matt-black bumpers: 3,363 punds. In September 1982, the Mini 1000 HLE was discontinued and replaced by the Mini Mayfair.
