1982 INNOCENTI DE TOMASO MINI 120
(Note : This is not a 1980 model, it is a 1982. This is due to eBay's peculiar input program)
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, but 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
