The Mini looks terrific on BAT! That will be a nice classic car for someone. Is it really in Michigan?

Neat, but I'm guessing in a couple of years the body will look much worse that this if it gets driven. Since it's an innocenti, is the engine color correct or should it be some version of bmc green?

Thanks and, yes, the car really is in Michigan. It's up at Eclectic Motorworks in Holland, Michigan. They got it all sorted.

Good question on the engine color. The numbers point towards it being the correct one.

Wow. That price is already climbing. It'll definitely go above 10k but I'm wondering if it'll reach 20.

What's sort of funny is that when I bought the car I didn't know enough to check that the VIN and engine number were correct. It looked like an Innocenti, so I trusted the guy that it was as claimed.
