That's not a De Tomaso Mini.   That's a De Tomaso-edition Daihatsu Charade, 
which came later.   They were built in Japan, and were basically a factory 
hot-rodded edition of the standard car, fitted with nice wheels, better seats, 
more power, bigger brakes etc. etc. and then festooned with De Tomaso badges.

Neat cars.   One of the UK De Tomaso club members recently bought one for 
about 1000 GP pounds.
