An Innocenti, an Italian car based on the early Sprites. Used the drive train and basic chassis bits. Built 1960 - 1968 (roughly), they made 7651 of them in various configurations. Would be a fun project to restore one some day, but probably pricey given the low production numbers.

Ah yes, The Anglo-Italian sports car! Mechanically a Spridget with Italian bodywork. Definitly worth saving and a "collectible"! Michelotti also did a version of the Mini (another Anglo-Itallian effort). There is one of these locally for sale in my neighborhood! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

Yup... Although the Innocenti Mini (pre-1976) basically looked the same as the British-built Mini, save trim changes
While these Innocenti sports cars had their own unique design
And here in Canada we got the new Innocenti Mini during the 1980's, with an Italian design, as I understand they were a pretty crappy car though, with a Daihatsu engine...

Although the orange Mini shown above might be an Italian-built car, it may also just be a Brit-built Clubman (an alternate-styled Mini).
I used to own one.
Actually, to be honest, I'm not sure the Clubman body was ever built in Italy.

The name of the place is European Auto! I looked for a tel.# in the phone book but couldn't find it. I shall get it from them tomorrow!
