The Innocenti factory was a world class facility, as these pictures clearly show.
In many ways, this Mini production line was more advanced than its progenitor back in Longbridge.

Great site, I am a Lambretta afficionardo who visits the factory every year from Australia when in Italy on business. The 2 car plant buildings have just been demolished (the last 2 as you head out of the city).
Would love a better copy of the scooter factory inside shot if you have one.
