Description
Up for sale is my 1970 Mini Innocenti Minor 850cc MK3, the genuine Italian version of the Austin Mini, in excellent condition. Matching numbers, and I am the third owner. It starts first time and is a real pleasure to drive, with its original Hydrolastic suspension and 10-inch wheels. Fully functional, right down to the roof light bulb! MOT test carried out in 2025, to be renewed for the sale. Carefully restored in 2016 in Naples, this Innocenti spent its entire life in that region. It mainly attended Sunday car meets and was kept out of the rain. The bodywork is in superb condition, with no dents or scratches, and a very nice paint finish in its original Verde Chiaro colour. The floor pans have been replaced and the subframes removed and repainted. Numerous works carried out since my purchase: Repairs carried out by Emblematik Garage (invoices available) November 2026 - Inspection hatch seals replaced - Timing cover gasket June 2026 - Accessory drive belt - Dynamo pulley replaced - Crankshaft pulley replaced - Stainless steel radiator - Wiper blades October 2025 - Front suspension replaced, with 3-axis geometry adjustment - Front disc brake - Stage 1 exhaust manifold kit - Brake light switch - Brake bleed - Front wheel bearing kit - Steering rack gaiter clips - Gearbox extension rubber bush - Engine mount - Petrol hose - Cambelt replaced - Rear brake adjustment - Front brake hose - New front tyres - Yokohama The interior is entirely original and in very good condition. Since its import, I have been the third owner, and the car holds a French collector's vehicle registration document (carte grise).
