With the larger Metro being redesigned in 1990 to take the new K-Series engine, the Mini became the sole recipient of the classic A-Series engine with transmission-in-sump layout. The engine mounting points were moved forward to take 1275&nbsp;cc power units, and includes the later Horizontal Integral Float version of the [[SU carburettor|SU carb]], and also the single-point fuel-injection version, which came out in November 1991. The 998&nbsp;cc power units were discontinued. Early, carburetted Coopers had a catalytic converter and produce {{cvt|61|PS|kW hp PS|0|order=out}} at 5500&nbsp;rpm.<ref name="TV791.8">{{cite magazine | ref = LJ91 | title = Fågel Fenix | trans-title = The Phoenix | language = sv | magazine = [[Teknikens Värld]] | publisher = Specialtidningsförlaget AB | location = Stockholm, Sweden | page = 8 | date = 1991-04-04 | issue = 7 | volume = 43 | first = Lasse | last = Jonsson }}</ref> Power crept up to {{cvt|62|hp|kW hp PS|0|order=out}} at 5700&nbsp;rpm for the fuel injected model.

In the summer of 1991, 21 years after the fibreglass [[#Chile|Mini built in Chile]] was produced, another fibreglass bodied Mini again entered production. This time, it was built in Venezuela and sold as the '''Mini Cord'''. The producer, Facorca, intended to sell the car in the Caribbean and Central America, and also had plans for Brazilian assembly.<ref name=Facorca>{{cite journal |journal=Calgary Herald |title=Venezuelan firm making Mini for Latin America |last=Suderman |first=Art |page=F4 |date=30 August 1991 |publisher=CanWest Interactive}}</ref>
