In 1985 Mini production rose to 35,280, a modest increase, as Austin Rover introduced a steady stream of limited editions with bright paint colours and body graphics. Basic models such as the City and the City E, using the economy tuned drivetrain of the Metro HLE, filled in the bottom of the range, and the Mini stayed popular as a first car for younger drivers. The City and City E models were built in numbers for buyers who wanted a cheap car.
