Funky from the article: It’s the case of this Innocenti Mini Export Cooper 1300, a car that was built under license in Italy some decades ago. However, this is not your stock Mini, mind you. Oh no, the Italians, being Latin and all that, know how to make things… interesting. 15 pictures and full article .
Very interesting to see an older Mini painted to resemble a new model. About 99% of the time it's the other way around. In this case, it seems the owner of the 1973 Innocenti Mini was a big fan of the limited edition Paul Smith striped Minis of 1997. When these cars first came out, I'd never heard of Paul Smith, but apparently he's some celebrated UK fashion designer.
