The Innocenti was the result of BMC, British Motor Corporation's association with the Innocenti firm of Italy. With Styling by Ghia, the Austin Healey Sprite/MG Midget was the rebodied platform for the Innocenti Spyder. Production was by OSI near Milan. At $2900 U.S. in 1964, the Innoceni was more exclusive and expensive.The Innocenti was also a bit heavier than the Spridget. While the chassis was essentially unchanged, the Innocenti incorporated roll-up windows years before they were incorporated into the Spridget.
