Triumph Italia Production Figures and Commission Numbers
By Jamie Palmer
At best, determining commission numbers and production figures of Italias is a guessing game. Here are the facts we do know:
- There were 297 TR-3A/B chassis delivered to Italy to be made into Italias.
- One of the first chassis numbers is TS51639LCO - this is the vehicle Standard-Triumph tested in early 1960.
- The last 30 cars were made on TSF501 through TSF530, the last 30 TR-3B first series chassis.
- All cars had both the TR-3A/B commission plate and a "Vignale number"; they were NOT kept in chassis order when bodied.
- Numerous changes were made car-to-car!
