Innocenti Small

The Innocenti Small was the name given to the Innocenti Mini after Fiat took over the company in 1990. The diesel, Matic and Turbo de Tomaso versions were dropped, a slight facelift came in November 1990, and the 500 engine grew to 659 cc when the kei car rules changed to allow 660 cc, with unchanged power but more torque and a top speed of 120 km/h. A luxurious Serie Speciale of the 990 with a Missoni alcantara interior and an optional canvas roof arrived in July 1991, catalysed versions followed in 1992, and the last development was the Small 500 SE of 1993, which put the smaller engine in the longer 990 body. Production ended on 31 March 1993 and sales continued into the next year.
