I "spotted" this Triumph Italia on the net. Beautiful Italian designed cars, would never have guessed Triumph as the maker.

There was lots of stuff like this back then, both mainstream such as Michelotti styling Triumphs for years and low volumes specials such as this Sunbeam Venezia by Touring.

I saw it at a show in Germany, prior to that I didn't know it existed.
There is a book about about this subject.

Spotted today. I believe this Triumph is still being used as the daily driver by its elderly owner.

Machine polished this car, a two stage process to remove scratches with a da polishing machine. A Rotary machine are more effective plus quicker in some flat areas. We then wax or ceramic coat the paint, for our winter.
