HISTORY

Italian manufacturer Ferdinando Innocenti produced several vehicles in partnership with British Motor Corporation. One of the most successful and desirable is the Innocenti Spider, a compact sports car with superb styling introduced at the 1960 Turin Auto Show. Innocenti made a splash with an attractive little Spider built upon Austin Healy Sprite underpinnings.

The Spider wasthe first Tom Tjaarda design for Ghiaand was assembledby OSI in Milan.Fewer than 7,000 cars were produced over five years,approximately 2,100 of which were 1100 S models such as these two. The Sprite origins are visible inthefamiliar shifter hump, transmission tunnel, and floor braces.Power is from a 1,098cc AustinA-series fourwithitssignature olive green rockercover, while shifting is via a4-speed manualtransmission.
