Innocenti Mini Cooper Pavesi

The Innocenti Mini Cooper Pavesi was built by coachbuilder Pavesi which took the Innocenti to new standards and this must be one of the most luxurious Minis ever built. Ordered by a wealthy italian business man and car collector, this Innocenti Mini Cooper 1300 has been completely converted by Carrozzeria Pavesi in Milan. Pavesi made about a dozen of these wonderful conversions. These Minis were made for people who wanted the ultimate specification for their city car, comparable to the standards of Ferrari or Rolls-Royce. Every option was possible, and they were finished was to a very high standard. This Innocenti has almost all the available upgrades : full connoly hide interior, wool headlining and carpets, walnut dashboard and door cappings, power windows, tinted glass, electrical boot and fuel cap release (!), special twin sports exhausts, a very typical vinyl roof, wheel arch extensions integrated in the body, and a gold sealed engine block. The front grille is a new design with integrated fog lights, and to make it even more attractive, this car sits on bespoke StilAuto alloy wheels with Michelin XZX tyres. Most Mini fans know the Wood & Pickett and Radford Minis. Also Italy had its coachbuilt Minis. Obviously the Italian Innocenti was the car of choice for these specials. The Innocenti Cooper 1300 Export was already more luxurious and arguably a better built car than its siblings from British Leyland.
