IN RISALTO: • Innocenti Mini T "Legno" Traveller of 1966 belonging to the rare First Series with long-throw gearshift • Bodywork restored about 20 years ago with replacement of the floors and restoration of the wooden finishes on the rear • Preserves the original black license plate and Italian documentation • Original interiors preserved and recently serviced, passed at the Motor Vehicle Department STORIA/PANORAMICA: The Innocenti Mini T (Traveller), introduced in the early 1960s under license from the British Motor Corporation, represents the refined estate variant of the famous Mini assembled at the Innocenti plant in Lambrate. Characterized by the extended wheelbase, the double rear hinged door, and the distinctive exterior ash wood finishes on the rear section, it blended Alec Issigonis’s design genius with a touch of Italian elegance. This 1966 example belongs to the desirable First Series with long-throw gearshift. The car was restored about 22 years ago, during which the floors were replaced and the wooden finishes of the rear bodywork were completely restored. As a vehicle used very rarely and always stored indoors in a garage, it remains in good overall condition and is equipped with its original black-era number plates. The car has recently passed the circulation eligibility inspection (revision) at the Motorizzazione. BODY/PAINTWORK: The bodywork and structure present themselves in good overall condition. The restoration carried out about 20 years ago included replacement of the floors and a full repaint of the car, as well as the complete restoration of the external wooden finishes, which are now well preserved. The vehicle is free from urgent repair work; however the seller notes the need to replace the exhaust due to holes in the lower tail section, as well as the replacement of a plastic door-latch clip on the driver’s side window. A thorough cleaning of the underbody is also recommended, particularly in the rear section. INTERIORS: The cabin is preserved with its original period interiors. The seat coverings, dashboard and interior panels maintain the factory original layout with the classic First Series-era configuration. MECHANICS: The mechanicals are functioning and have undergone conservative maintenance. Specifically, the braking system was overhauled two years ago, while this year the ignition coil and spark plugs were replaced. The car is drivable and has passed the legal periodic inspection. DOCUMENTS: The car is supplied with Italian registration documents in order and its original era black license plate. The car is viewable and collectible in Serravezza, Italy.
