Innocenti was an Italian automaker known for producing small cars, scooters, and motorcycles. Founded in 1920 by Ferdinando Innocenti, the company initially focused on steel tubing and machinery. However, after World War II, Innocenti shifted its focus to manufacturing automobiles. Notable models included the Innocenti 950 Spider, which was based on the British-designed Austin-Healey Sprite. Innocenti also produced licensed versions of popular British cars, such as the Mini and the Austin A40. The company gained a reputation for producing reliable and economical vehicles, particularly popular in Italy and other European markets. However, despite initial success, Innocenti faced financial difficulties in the 1970s and changed ownership several times before production ceased in the 1990s. Despite no longer being in production, Innocenti cars are still appreciated by collectors for their unique charm and historical significance in the automotive industry.
