Re: 1972 innocenti T 1000
Thanks Marcus,
Lorenzo was extremely helpful with the correct information.
I have found a replacement engine for the Innocenti T which is a mk1 cooper power plant with a 4 synchro box. Engine stripped down and is currently with the acid dippers, once picked up it will be off the Southam Mini centre for the block and head the be skimmed.
Just on the hunt for a 22G1128 4 synchro box which will be an identical engine spec to how it would have been out of the factory.
SPeaking with Lorenzo, the engine will be painted in black, not the MOWOG green as this changed after 1970 and during the MK3 production, the engine is the next to be worked through and would hope to get this sorted over the coming weeks / months.
Thanks for reading.

Re: 1972 innocenti T 1000
Time for an update…
As the head had been sitting on my desk for the last 8months with a couple of valves lapped it was time to clear my desk and get on with the engine!
Here is a few from the build so far, and I know that the gearbox should be black! But Hopefully I have the correct bits so far…
On with the Dynamo and radiator refurb now then hopefully in the car very soon
Thanks for looking

Very tidy work
If only I knew the power of the Dark Side...I wouldn't have made contact with an Innocenti

Re: 1972 innocenti T 1000
A bit more progress….
Subframe semi built up and now in the car with view to getting the engine in this week.
As they say.. two steps forward….
I decided to replace the installed original wiring loom (too many alfas in the past that had electrical issues
) plus not 100% sure to loom was in a great condition. So I had a new loom specially made and that landed this week…
So lots to do!
Hopefully another update later this week.
Ps why are my photographs upside down?

Re: 1972 innocenti T 1000
Decided to take the day off today and managed to get the engine in, rear subframe completed, drive shafts overhauled and on its wheels, well rear wheels (finally got rid of the dolly)
From today it’s given me the push to start cracking on with the car !
Hopefully hubs, braked all on by this weekend and on all wheels!
A few more photographs following todays work.
