innocenti mainly made lambrettas

Yeah, up until 1971 I think. Innocenti built cars under licence from BMC. The Fiat 500 was mainly responsible for the demise in scooter production. They priced it so that it didn't cost much more than a scooter and a family could fit in it. The Innocenti Mini was aimed at the Fiat 500 buyers and without this car, Innocenti probably wouldn't have survived very long at all despite having engineering and construction divisions. I love Lambrettas.

Hi there Wavy Davy !

The "A - series" engines in all Italian built Innocenti Mini's were originally shipped out from the UK to the Milan factory where they were fitted to the Italian built Minis.
