Description
The Innocenti Mini was a car in the mini-class, produced from 1965 to 1975 by the Milanese car manufacturer Innocenti, primarily for the Italian market. The model was largely similar in technical and visual aspects to the Mini developed by Alec Issigonis and presented in 1959, but had some distinctive differences.
This specific model is quite unique as it is an export 1001. A distinguishing feature highlighting this is the slightly smaller rear license plate space, similar to the MK1 and MK2 models. The “Deluxe” 1001 was designed with luxury in mind.
The upgrades also included the floor covering, wood-grain-accented dials, chrome ventilation openings, and a redesigned gear lever. A new seat design improved both comfort and aesthetics. It was these thoughtful details that transformed the Mini 1001 into a more sophisticated and luxurious car.
“Innocenti not only brought the Innocenti Mini to Italy but also refined and improved the original MINI, creating a unique and cherished niche in automotive history. The impact of the Innocenti Mini has been nothing short of extraordinary, making it the second-largest car manufacturer in all of Italy, after Fiat.”
