1982 MINI INNOCENTI DE TOMASO 120 This is truly unique union of Britishcraftsmanship and unique Italian style. This model takes the Mini to the nextstep in its evolution. Sold extensively in western Europe, but sadly never inNorth America or Great Britain. Mechanically all Mini, but an ItalianMini with panache! This example wasoriginally imported from Spain. HowDe Tomaso improved the Mini:- Hatchback Bodyby Bertone with practical rear folding seat. Full instruments by JaegerItalia. 12??? wheels to accommodate Cooperdisc brakes. Front-mounted rad with electric fan (less engine noise !).(This is NOT the Innocenti with the 3cylinder Diahatsu engine nor the Italian-sourced British Leyland Mini body.)Left handdrive.

The largest improvementwas the addition of rear hatch, allowing for improved access to the (stilltiny) luggage compartment. Coincidentally, the drag resistance was alsomarginally lower than that of the original Mini, 0.41 Cd rather than 0.42. ???TECHNICAL:BLMC frontand rear sub-frames; Wheelbase: 2040mm; Ground Clearance: 120 mm; Fuel Supply: One SU HS6 Carb; Horsepower: 76 @ 3200rpm; Tires: 155/70 SR 12; Fuel Consumption: 5.9 litres per 100 kilometres; to 60 10.9 sec.; Top speed: 95 mph.
