6 ITALIAS
The story of six very rare Triumph Italias gathering at Concorso Italiano during Monterey car week in August 2019. The Triumph Italia was a Vignale bodied TR3 chassis and running gear, designed by Giovanni Michelotti. The project was the brainchild of Salvatore Ruffino who was the distributor of Triumph vehicles in Italy. A thousand vehicles were planned, of which only three hundred and thirty were actually built.
