The Mini Mk V was introduced in 1984. The fifth evolution of the Classic Mini was badged as Austin until 1988, when the branding returned to just 'Mini.' The Mk V Mini was available with a 1.0L or 1.3L inline four engine, and was only offered as a two door saloon. The Mini Mk V featured plastic wheel arches, but was largely similar to the previous Mk IV Mini. In 1989, the sporty Cooper variant was reintroduced. Production of the Mini Mk V ended in 1989 and was replaced by the Mini Mk VI.
