In July 1979 the lower end of the Mini range was altered, and in August 1979 the Mini's 20th anniversary was marked by the introduction of the first true limited edition Mini, the Mini 1100 Special. The anniversary car was a sign of how the Mini was being sold as a classic, even as the Metro was being prepared for launch in 1980. The Mini 1100 Special was the first limited edition, a form of marketing that the Mini would use often.
