I believe Italy had Austin Mini's imported over. Wouldn't be any difference than what I have.

There are Italian made Mini's, they are called "Innocenti" Minis. Innocenti was essentially a coachbuilder in Italy. The body, engine, drivetrain, etc are all BMC. But the car is assembled and the interior, door handles, mirrors, grill are all Italian. They are nice, even the MK1's have roll up windows. I wouldnt mind owning one. Theres nothing particularly valuable about an Innocenti, they are fairly common.
