The Innocenti Mini and the beautiful woman
10/30/2015
Photographing cars with beautiful women is still commonplace today. And if the woman is also well-known or famous, this naturally reflects positively on the vehicle. In 1973, Innocenti published some black and white photos of its Mini 1000 with Rosalba Neri.
Who was this attractive lady? She was no stranger, as she could be seen in half a hundred films, often appearing not under her own name but as Sara Bay in the credits, which also had to do with the nature of the films. The list of films in which she took part includes not only spy thrillers and Roman sandal flicks, but also spaghetti westerns and erotic films. One of her most famous roles was Lady Dracula in a B-movie classic.
In the end, you wonder which car manufacturer today would have the courage to have their cars photographed with a versatile lady like Rosalba Neri ....
