1982 MINI INNOCENTI DE TOMASO 120

This is truly a unique union of British craftsmanship and Italian style. Very rare in North America. Originally imported from Spain. Sold extensively in western Europe, ut sadly never in North America or Great Britain. All British Leyland Mini running gear but an Italian Mini with panache!

Left hand drive. Hatchback Body by Bertone with practical rear folding seat. Full instruments by Jaeger Italia.

(This is NOT the Innocenti with the 3 cylinder Diahatsu engine nor the Italian-sourced British Leyland Mini body.)
