Very rare 1982 Mini Innocenti De Tomaso in mint condition. Italian MIni with all British Leyland running gear Left hand drive. 94150 km Hatchback Body by Bertone with practical rear fold-down seat. Full gauges. 1275cc Mini engine ( NOT the 3 cylinder Daihatsu) producing 77HP. 4 speed transmission. Note: This is not a 1980 model. it is a 1982. This is due to eBay"s peculiar input program). It was during the 1976 Turin Auto Show that the Innocenti Mini de Tomaso was first showcased to the public. Entering into production for early 1977, the ferocious aesthetics fuelled with BMC’s A-series inline 4 engine, the Issigonis alternative churned out 71bhp from 1275cc – the same powerplant employed by the sporty Mini GTs back in Great Britain. There was a power increase for 1978, with an extra 3bhp to keep rivals at bay – making for a grippy 90mph go-kart. The Innocenti Mini was generally better equipped than the original British comrades, resulting in stronger sales and a sturdier reputation within European markets. The largest improvement was the addition of an opening tailgate, allowing easier access to the small holding area in the rear. The drag coefficient was also lower, resulting in 0.41 Cd over the 0.42 accepted by the British. The Bertone styling may have appeared drastically right-angled when compared to contemporary Minis of the time, but when the ex-Leyland subsidiary made the Innocenti Mini briefly available in Britain prior to the launch of Austin’s Metro, the public lapped up the different image with glee.
This car gets a lot of attention from car collectors. Here are some comments on my car from Bring a trailer when it was listed two years ago:
