Innocenti Mini T

The Innocenti Mini T, written Mini T/t in period model lists, was the estate version of the Mini that the Italian firm Innocenti built locally from 1965 so that the car could avoid Italy's import tariffs. It was the only body other than the saloon among the licence-built Italian Minis, and AROnline calls the Mini T/t a wood-timbered Traveller equivalent. The list of models produced shows it in three runs: 1966 to 1968, 1968 to 1973, and a Metallica paint version also listed for 1968 to 1973. From about 1970 Innocenti made a good part of the body panels itself, adding details such as square rear number plates and side indicator cutouts, which set the Italian Mini and the Mini T/t apart from their British siblings. The last Innocenti Mini of this original shape left the line in 1975.
