stuart Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Funnily enough I happened to be very close to a bare Italia shell yesterday. Nice car I have always fancied one (In my dreams ) Second time I have been close to one under restoration. This is one spotted a while ago in California.

Brett Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I would have, but 6 days earlier to your post... Maybe next year on the 1st of April again... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vivdownunder Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Peter, the TR Register's Italia Registrar would know far better than me, but I think there were a small number of RHD TR3A chassis' sent over to Vignale for Italia's. The final cars would have been LHD though as Vignale used the last 29 x TSF series TR3B chassis' for these. The attraction was their 1991cc engines which apparently fell under lower taxing laws in Italy. Later TCF series TR3B's such as I had, were fitted with 2138cc TR4 engines, gearboxes and front disc brakes. Italia #250, the ex Neil Revington associated "Yellow Peril" lives nearby these days, and it came out here RHD, but I don't know if it was converted at some stage. Regards, Viv.

axb601 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 While on the subject of RHD italias, has anyone here bought the Revington Italia replica shell? The article about the yellow italia is still on the site http://www.revingtontr.com/shop/collection_display.asp?CID=728 and the shells are apparently still for sale in ally or steel. Presumably made to order? http://www.revingtontr.com/shop/search.asp?CarType=ALL&SearchText=italia+shell&submit.x=0&submit.y=0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
randall977 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 As far as I know there are no RHD Italias, though to be fair I don't know much! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
D1092 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 I saw a lovely Italia (but aren't they all?) at Techno Classica this year. But really, wouldn't it be better to save your money and get a better car? Same designer, upgraded mechanicals, and sporting open-top motoring the way it's meant to be. Of course I'm speaking of the TR4, aka the Triumph Italia II... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
