Innocenti didn't build Clubmans or GTs. That one has been personalised using a few Innocenti odds and ends like gauges, heater front and door bins.

But hey, free shipping :) Which to be fair from Japan to America or Europe can be scary. I had a guy in Japan interested in a John Aley rollover bar. Shipping would have been $1400 USD!

And, Holy Crap! They have over 75,000 items for sale!

There you go...I have a feeling the 80 MPH on the speedo is aspirational :)

Mmmm. I have happy(?) memories of driving a JU250 van for work many years ago and even through rose-tinted spectacles I don't think it was a particularly great vehicle..... I recall it was a bit like steering a boat and after the first 40miles or so, you did get used to a certain style of driving.
As the seller says though, a LOT cheaper than a VW Camper :o

Well I have seen this one in the real but :shock: it is a 1275GT
with some Innocenti parts in it so :shock: nice looking Mini but
nothing rare about it. Just a nice car with some work to be done.

The other problem surely is that the heritage cert shows it as LHD export and the car is RHD
