Rarity

Rare in this condition anywhere and even more so in the USA. We could find none for sale in the US and just a few in Europe.

Innocenti Mini’s had some subtle upgrades from standard BMC fare offered by Morris and Austin. Note the front fender lamps and vented wing windows from the front. From the side, a mirror that shows Italian flair. From the rear, the indented boot lid for the license tag light and squared mount for Italian license plates plus the back up lamps integrated into tail light lenses. Beautiful metallic black paint. Rally stripes.

DMV / Documentation

California DMV will not title this vehicle. Therefore, it is not for sale to California residents as you won’t be able to get license plates. The Arizona title is clear. California Dealers may bid but must understand they will not be able to register the car in California. Very low cost Antique registration and insurance for most US States.

If that’s what you are after, this is not your era, nor your car so please move on to something new.
