Where did he get the idea ?

I wonder where the designer of this 1962 Triumph Italia got he inspiration ?

That's a beautiful car with an absolute Italian flair. But, since Michelotti did the design work on the TR4 to begin with, I'm not surprised...I'd take that rascal in a New York minute!

The Italia is really good looking. Supposedly, Ray Seidel's sports car dealership in Manchester, NH (USA) brought in quite a few.

You'd have to sign an agreement that body panels were unavaible when you purchased the car (from what I have read)

Actually, they got it from the 1959 Ferrari 250GT.

I had a friend with an Italia many years ago... and it was an incredible rust bucket. I don't think a single one of them escaped the tin worm.

And maybe a bit of Volvo P1800 as well.

I had the privilege of standing between two of these at a car show years ago in Richmond, VA. Both were silver, and one had all the rare badges that are typically missing. They are beautiful cars.
