FactUnderneath its Ghia-penned Italian body, the Innocenti 1100 Spider was a British Austin-Healey Sprite — restyled head to tail and built not by Innocenti but by coachbuilder OSI near Milan.
In February 1963 the 1098 cc 'S' model of the Innocenti Spider was introduced with front disc brakes to cope with the extra power: the 1100 has 58 hp and could also be fitted with a removable hardtop; 2,074 of the 1100 cc Spiders were built. The page gives the Innocenti 950 and 1100 Spiders as produced from 1961 until 1968, with sales dropping sharply as more modern competitors arrived and the British Sprite was modernised (only 63 cars were built in 1965).

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Rivals

In 1974 Alfa built a one-off on this Spider: a Porsche-style solid rear window and lift-out roof panels, fewer than 2,000 made, the only Spider ever with a part-solid roof.
Over 100,000 people voted to name this car "Duetto" — but a chocolate-snack maker had already trademarked the word, and a Milan court ruling forced Alfa to sell it as the Spider 1600 instead.
After nearly 25 years of manual-only Spiders, the final Series 4 cars quietly added something Alfa purists never expected: an optional automatic transmission.
The mid-80s Spider's Quadrifoglio Verde trim went all-in on a single look: blood-red carpets and grey leather with red stitching, and it only ever came in three exterior colors.
This Spider was built not by Alfa but by Pininfarina itself, on a platform shared with General Motors.
The 916 Spider's strongest naturally aspirated engine, the 192 PS 3.0 12V Busso V6, was never offered in its GTV coupe twin.
The Frogeye had no boot lid at all — owners reached the spare wheel by tilting the seats forward into the dark cavity behind, a ritual they likened to potholing.
The Fairlady 2000's SR311 update came with a five-speed manual gearbox in 1967 — a genuinely unusual spec for any production car of that era.
