Being that it's a Cooper....would it not already have a 295 head on it and 56hp already? ( if indeed an Inno Cooper )

The Inno Cooper 1300 has virtually a complete Cooper 'S' engine fitted with 'S' head, twin HS4 carbs, a 510 cam, 3-into-1 ex. manifold, etc. But I don't know what the earlier 998 Innos had although with a Cooper badge they should have been 998 Coopers.

[Spitz]

Yes....but we're talking about a Cooper ( not S ) as the OP mentioned>

[Cooperman]

Yes, but if it is a genuine Inno 998 Cooper then John Cooper will have received his royalty for use of his name and the car should surely have a full 998 Cooper specification. I only alluded to the Cooper 1300 to illustrate what happened with the Innocenti Cooper 1300, which was really the last of the true Cooper 'S's.

Got a feeling that the MK1 came with a 295 head as standard equipment

[Spitz]

Arrg....LOL.
Cooperman.

He said it's a MkI Inno Cooper....
This would have had a Cooper engine....with 295 head.
That's all.... not sure why you're arguing....lol

I didn't think I was arguing - as if

If it's an Inno Cooper 998 it will have a 295 head and twin carbs.

Innocentis are such lovely cars and the instrument panel - WOW!

Hi there

I didnt roll over any car so far :) thank God and I hope that I will never be in this situation. The engine has only one carburator (it was probably repleced)
Lot of parts are missing (right door, stearing wheel inno badge front grill, alternator, 1 seat, windshield, )

couple of photos i hope that the engine is correct :) i am worried because it has only one carburator :)

[dklawson]

When I see pictures like that I can imagine how over the years a car is neglected and parts are robbed off of it for other vehicles.

However, looking at the first picture above I just have to wonder what happened to the moustache around the grille. I cannot imagine a situation other than vandalism that would twist that poor part upwards and into the vacant headlamp hole. It makes me both sad and angry.

I also look at pictures like yours and think of the car in its glory. I think of the day when someone nearly 45 years ago walked into a dealership, pointed at the Inno and said "I want that one".

You have a big project ahead of you but very rewarding both personally and financially if you are able to find the missing Inno parts.

[Spitz]

Is that an "8" on the engine number tag?
If so, it's an 848.
By tthe dash and engine bay....looks like it may not be a Inno Cooper, but an Inno Minor Mk1 ( late with the HS4 )
It does have the taller brake master though...maybe all Inno's did ( ? )

( info from http://www.inno-mini...com/welcome.htm )

The MK1 inno cooper had the cooper S instruments, its the MK2 that had the 5 binnacle dash with rev counter, and the export had a 6 binnacle dash.
By the way, have a look at the engine number and the cylinder head number.

[Naughty 40]

No the pre export model had the 5 guage dash along with the MK3 Cooper
Mk 2 and Mk 3 850's also came with a 295 head as standard
