What is the Innocenti Mini?
It is an Italian-built version of the British Mini, produced by Innocenti under licence from BMC and later British Leyland. Innocenti first assembled Mini variants from CKD kits, then introduced the Bertone-styled Mini 90 and Mini 120 in 1974. [Hemmings](https://www.hemmings.com/stories/the-innocenti-story/)
How can an Innocenti Mini be distinguished from an English-built Mini?
Italian versions used different body shells, trim, interior details, and exterior fittings, including distinctive grille and headlamp treatments. The Innocenti cars were generally better equipped and more highly finished than many contemporary English Minis. [Innocenti Mini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocenti_Mini)
What engines did the Innocenti Mini 90 and Mini 120 use?
The Mini 90 used a 998 cc A-series engine, while the Mini 120 used a 1,275 cc A-series unit. Both retained the Mini's front-wheel-drive layout and four-speed manual transmission. [Innocenti Mini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocenti_Mini)
What happened to the Innocenti Mini after British Leyland?
Innocenti was sold to De Tomaso and the model line continued with revisions after the British Leyland period. Later versions eventually adopted Daihatsu three-cylinder engines, and production continued in updated forms until 1993. [Innocenti Mini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocenti_Mini)
