"wrenches, welder, paint gun, and sewing skills." will be the least of your=
needs.
This car needs so many of the unique missing parts that even if someone doe=
s all of the work themselves it will still cost a fortune to restore. Furth=
ermore, I would advise any interested parties to personally inspect the cha=
ssis of this vehicle. If this needs rockers and any other metal repair, cou=
pled with the difficulty finding the missing parts, you might as well go fo=
r a swim with cinder blocks.=20
Below are my comments submitted to Bring A Trailer on this car.
As someone who has probably owned more Innocenti Spiders and parts than any=
one in the world, I will offer a bit of advice.
These are very interesting cars especially if you have a love of Austin-Hea=
ley Sprites. They are a bit roomier, a tad luxurious (at least for their ti=
me), and it should go without saying, very rare and unique.
Buyers of any Innocenti Spider need to be prepared to pay their dues so-to-=
speak as the last point needs to be taken seriously because finding parts c=
an be difficult. Outside of the mechanicals and some chassis panels, nothin=
g crosses-over from a Sprite and almost 100% of the other parts are unique =
to this car. Taillights top the list of hard-to-find.
Of the seven I owned, only one was restored. The other six are still out th=
ere awaiting restoration.
Before I close, I must offer one suggestion and personal opinion. Do not tr=
ansplant a non-original engine into one of these cars. They are too rare. I=
f you want an Italian car with an Italian powerplant, buy a Lancia, Alfa, F=
iat, Ferrari, whatever.=C2=A0jay
