Hi all. We've had
our Ino since buying it from an immigrating Italian in 1978. It is as
far as we know the only Bertone bodied Ino in North America and makes a
huge hit at all the Mini events we take it to. We drove it for a number
of years until the original Cooper engine started getting tired. I then
began what turned into a runaway project both time and money wise. Part
of it's total reconstruction was the installation of a modified 1969
1380 S engine with all the goodies including a 45 Weber. It now has HiLo
suspension, adjustable Spax shocks, BWA 12" wheels, Corbeau sport seats,
Luke racing harness',rev limiting tach etc. as well as virtually every
wearing part replaced with new ones.
The car now has
people asking if it the new Mini as it still has that current look. The
car has about 500 miles on the rebuild and is basically a new car. I am
now looking for a new owner for this rare car so if anyone is looking
for something different let me know and I'll send you some info. Cheers.
