Description
Although there is no doubt that the fame of Innocenti worldwide is due above all to the Lambretta and to the productions in the field of the great mechanics, from the presses to the rolling mills, to the large iron and steel plants, besides all this it is however important to remember also its presence in the field automotive, a presence that since the sixties has proposed, in addition to the production of well-known British cars such as the Mini, specific versions of cars of the BMC group for the Italian market, versions that, both from an aesthetic point of view and for performance , presented remarkable innovations compared to the original models built in the UK, such as the Innocenti Spider and the Innocenti Morris IM3. In a country where the automotive industry was firmly in the hands of the giant Fiat and Finmeccanica with Alfa Romeo, the opening of a new car factory was according to some authoritative figures of the Italian industrial world, a gesture of great courage and, according to others, even a gesture of great unconsciousness.
