The Wolseley 1000 was a small car based on the Mini and launched by the BMC (South Africa) in 1967.

It was a unique combination of the front of the Wolseley Hornet with the normal mini rear. There were also triangular and crank windows that were introduced in 1967 for all South African mini models.

The Wolseley 1000 was powered by the same 1.0-liter engine as the Mini. At the end of 1968, the model upgrade measures (“Mark II”) that had already been carried out in Great Britain a year earlier were made up for the Wolseley 1000 and all other South African mini models.

Only 456 vehicles were produced in two years. The Wolseley 1000 was followed by the South African version of the Mini Mk. 3 (with Arabic numerals), which in turn was a combination of the conventional mini front with the notchback of the Wolseley Hornet .
