I had pics but my phone died and took them. I'll see what I can do about getting some more. In spite of drum brakes, it has 10-inch wheels I have not seen. I mentioned the Inno 6 clock dash and A+ 1275. Small fuel tank has bolt in sender. I'm not sure any of the parts were related before the build. A 998 Cooper power unit with spun rod came out of it. The 295 head is missing and one piston (D crown) has touched the head lightly. Steve (CTR)

I guess if push comes to shove, you could always pull the engine, do some fancy fiberglass on the inside, and turn it into a hot tub!

The doors are fully welded to the body. Haven't been able to figure out much about the car. Steve (CTR)

Hope they reinforced it before they cut the roof off. Also, the 6 clock dash would be desirable as long as it's in good shape. If it's been out in the elements, it's probably brittle or cracked. At that point, it's junk. Is the car an Innocenti or did it just have the Inno dash? Good luck with the rescue!

I have been looking at a classic mini roadster stored in a fence outside for several years. Seems the shop owner has been working on it for his lawyer. I have offered to help a couple of times. Now it seems it could be for sale. Is there any value to a six clock Inno Dash? Having no space if I can get it I plan on parting out. Comes with A+1275 and 998 Cooper with a spun rod bearing no 295 head. If there is interest I'd consider selling the roller less power unit. I'd like to make an offer but would rather hear a price from the seller. This is a home built not one of the cabros. Steve (CTR)
