A variety of Mini types were made in [[Pamplona]], Spain, by the [[Authi]] company from 1968 onwards, mostly under the Morris name. {{anchor|Chile}} In 1969, a fibreglass version of the Mini Mark II was developed for British Leyland's Chilean subsidiary (British Leyland Automotores de Chile, S.A., originally the independent assembler EMSSA). The bodyshell mould was created by the [[Peel Engineering Company]]. Production began in 1970 and continued for a few years; these fibreglass Minis can be recognised by the missing body seams and by larger panel gaps. The Chilean market was never very large and the Arica plant was closed in 1974.<ref name=ChiliMini>{{cite web | title = BMC in Chile: A potted history | work = Around the World: Chile | publisher = AROnline | first = Rodrigo | last = Toledo | date = 2011-09-03 | editor-first = Keith | editor-last = Adams | url = http://www.aronline.co.uk/blogs/around-the-world/around-the-world-chile/ | access-date = 2014-08-25 }}</ref> The reason for the fibreglass body was to enable Leyland to meet very strict requirements for local sourcing, increasing to 70.22% in 1971.<ref name=ChiliMini/>
