What a lovely car and a fine example, especially given it's age. I've never been crazy about Italian styling, but that's quite an exception. I can see too much in it as a cross between a Mini and the later Innocenti 90 / 120.
Great presenter and was well on top of the facts.
Many thanks for sharing !

Great video! The A112 is such an underrated little car. Italy’s take on the Mini definitely had its own charm, and it’s fun seeing how they tried to compete back then. Thanks for sharing!

To say he reviews an eclectic mix of cars is an understatement, his latest one is for the Bentley Brooklands Coupe.

One Carb Or Two?

Was it really 70kg lighter than the Mini of the time?
