Wanted 1985 Innocenti Turbo

Car must be in Canada.

1985 Mini Turbo, certainly not a turbo anyway, what you may of had was a
1985 Euromini that was fitted with an MG Metro 1275 Turbo engine.

Were those ever imported into Canada ?
These cars have a Daihatsu 3 cylinder engine, not an A-Series.

Oh yes they did!
It was the Bertone-designed successor to the Mini. First fitted with
A-Series engines and Mini subframes (Innocenti 90 and 120), including a
DeTomaso version (based on a high-spec Cooper engine), then they switched to
a Diahatsu 3-cylinder engine, including the DeTomaso Turbo version.

The Innocenti shares a lot of the Mini Heritage. The french Haynes manual
covers both cars. The Innocenti 90 and 120 were much better successors to
the Mini than the Metro was. It always occured to me that Austin-Rover
should have follwed that path rather than building the Metro.
They were originally built around the Mini architecture, with a
Bertone-designed body, a hatchback. They were basically the same size, with
of course the Mini subframes, suspension and engine. I'm not sure if the
Italian electrics are better or worse than Lucas, but well...

I am looking for the 3cylinder 998cc Daihatsu turbocharged engine.
They were built from 1982-85.
I believe they were NOT imported into the USA, but Canada.

Good god, what's that object in the background??? The thing with the
70's mock wood panels down the sides!

Looks more like a Mini than a Moke does.....
