1974 INNOCENTI MINI 1001
No reserve
• French classic car registration document
• Chassis number: 00943343
• 998 cc 4-cylinder engine
• Reinforced clutch
Produced from 1965 to 1975 by the Milanese manufacturer Innocenti based on the BMC Mini, the Innocenti Mini stands out for its interior finish, which is of a significantly higher standard than that of the British version, featuring better-quality chrome trim and a meticulous finish. The 1001, the most refined version in the range, is distinguished by improved upholstery, raised dials with a wood-effect finish and chrome-plated air vents — all details that give it a more luxurious feel than its English cousin.
The Mini 1001 is powered by a 998 cc four-cylinder engine producing 44 DIN hp, with a light kerb weight that ensures a lively and engaging driving experience. Nicknamed the ‘Milan Mini’, the Innocenti Mini saw over 230,000 units produced throughout its production run, with the 1001 representing one of the most sought-after models.
The car on offer, chassis number 00943343, left the factory in 1974 and was acquired by its current owner in 2019. The car features a red exterior and a white interior. Mechanically, the engine starts and runs. The original clutch has been replaced with a reinforced model (no invoice available) for sporty use. In 2019, the running gear was overhauled, the exhaust repaired and the bearings replaced. Wing extensions were also fitted during this work. The engine bay is in a fair condition. The car’s overall condition is consistent with its age and usage.
The Innocenti is the perfect blend of Italian charm and the ingenuity of the Mini.
