In May 1963, this Innocenti was delivered new in Italy and drove around in the sunny climate until 1989. After which the car was sold to a German enthusiast. From 1990 to 1994, the car was largely restored. The basis for the restoration was very good, partly due to the dry Italian climate. In 1997, an article about this particular Innocenti was written in the magazine ‘Motor Klassik’. The magazine is present in the extensive history folder. In 2021, the current owner managed to get hold of the Innocenti and completely overhauled the car technically and optically with the aim of the 2023 European Healey meeting in Norway. Among other things, the engine was overhauled and lightly tuned to 70 HP. The original displacement of 1098cc has been slightly boosted to 1150cc. Together with other new parts & components such as a sharper camshaft, new pistons, valves, bearings, K&N air filters and others, the engine now produces 70 HP.

What else took place in the restoration is, for example, the chrome plating, polishing and restoration of various various chrome parts, which was a total amount of some €2,900. This is 1 of many invoices from this restoration. In total, these amounts add up to around €20,000. For an additional €3,000, an extremely rare white hardtop is available.
