Launched in October 1992, the limited edition 'Italian Job' sought to capitalise on the enduring popularity of the eponymous 1969 motion picture starring Michael Caine, in which the Mini Cooper played a central role.

Although styled like the contemporary Cooper, the Italian Job made do with the standard 50bhp, 1,275cc engine rather than the former's fuel-injected 63bhp unit.

Special features included bonnet stripes, spoked alloy wheels, white-painted grille, twin driving lamps, colour-matched external mirrors, black bumpers, tinted glass and, of course, a unique 'Italian Job' bonnet badge.

The latter also adorned the three-spoke steering wheel that complemented the Black Tweed interior trim and Mini Mayfair instrument pack.

1,000 cars were made for the UK market and a further 750 for Italy.

This Mini Italian Job was supplied new to its first (lady) owner via main agent Wadham Kenning Rover and had covered 31,000 miles when she offered it for sale at auction in December 2007.
