A fabulous example of BMC's Mini Cooper, contracted and built by the Italian Leyland Innocenti, Italy.
Beautifully restored it's a driver quality car, not concourse, but shows with impeccable detail and runs as well as it looks.
Right hand drive (Built for the European market), you will note its instrumentation is in Italian and its speedometer in Kilometers. The speedometer currently reads 21,378 Kilometers. We do not know if this is original, however would have to assume it is not given the vintage of the Mini Cooper Innocenti.
Many new parts, too lengthy to list, with a incredible amount of receipts cumulatively in the thousands of dollars, and documentation to back it up, helps to add to its provenance.
This is a "Turn Key" driving Mini which needs absolutely nothing and is ready to enjoy for the Spring and Summer driving Mini enthusiast.
For disclosure purposes, please bear in mind, we reserve the right to end the auction early, given the Mini Cooper Innocenti is for sale locally. Kindly, and please do not ask our reserve. This is a auction.
We furthermore encourage inspection PRIOR to purchase, and not AFTER as a condition of sale. The Mini Cooper Innocenti will be sold "as is, where is" with no warranty expressed or implied.
Last, thanks for the interest and enjoy the pictures. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Happy Bidding and best of luck.

Mini Art Beat is a loud, driving social media billboard
Sat, 10 Aug 2013
Video billboards are nothing new, but a video on a moving car that's blaring music? Now that's something that will catch your attention - especially if you're driving alongside it in the streets of London.
That's the exact intent of Mini's new Art Beat, a Cooper Countryman turned marketing device that is custom-fitted with a staggering 48,000 LEDs. On its nightly drives through the city, the compact crossover showcases brightly colored videos, graphics and animations contributed by people around the world via social media. The Mini Space Blog describes the Art Beat as the "most vibrant and customizable NOT NORMAL ride you'll ever lay eyes on."
KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
Judge to approve settlement of Mini CVT lawsuits
Sun, 25 Aug 2013BMW has agreed to settle a number of class-action lawsuits out of court. The suits stem from drivetrain issues on the 2001 to 2006 R50 Mini Cooper - in particular, its continuously variable transmission. The transmission was known to fail, often without warning on otherwise healthy and well-maintained vehicles. This wasn't the only major issue to afflict the original BMW-era Mini models.
According to legal site Topclassactions.com, the suits alleged that BMW knowingly hid the defects in the CVT from customers while informing dealers of the issue. The first suit was filed in 2011, while four additional suits have followed. Now, BMW has reportedly settled, offering to reimburse 1,200 owners that needed repairs within eight years or 150,000 miles of their purchase. Repair prices for the transmission range from $6,000 to $9,000.
Under the agreement, BMW will also offer up to $4,100 to members of the suit that had fixes performed at a third-party shop, while owners who sold their cars at a loss due to the issues are slated to receive up to $2,000. Finally, owners who are part of the suit will be warrantied for a further eight years and 150,000 miles.
