1. 1976 Mini 1000 'Stripey' LE

“If ever a car has earned its stripes, it’s the Mini,” said the advert for the first Limited Edition Mini.

The striped cloth upholstery was the height of 1970s fashion and the Brooklands Green Mini boasted many new features like

reclining front seats and improved air vents.  




2. 1979 Mini 20

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Mini production, the Mini 1100 Special, with its1098cc engine, came in metallic silver

or rose and had alloy wheels, tinted glass, cut-pile carpets, extra instruments, and a vinyl roof which was a sure sign of

luxury.

No wonder the adverts said, “You take the Daimler dear, I’ll drive the Mini.”  




3. 1982 Mini Mayfair

The first of the “London” Minis, although not a limited edition, the Mayfair first appeared in 1982, continuing in

production until 1996.

Boasting seats in ‘Raschelle’ velour, with door-to-door carpets, and a push-button radio, the Mayfair was described as

having the “Chic of the Devil”. Later versions also offered alloy wheels among the optional extras.
