I don't think it's a 600.

Looks more like the Intermeccanica torino... which is an offshoot of the original car. Wrong wheels, door handles, tail light, window mouldings... etc for the 600. I'd bet money it's a torino.

My money is that it's the John Wilkens torino. And yes this is the first time I opened this thread.....

Oh and jeremy... I think that red one is when Triumph bought the plans and was producing them... it's not one of the 10 600's either.

Did someone mention Iso?



Beautiful car for its time.

Hmmmmmmm! It does look like an Intermeccanica Torino, doesn't it?
Is John Wilkens a slender, middle-aged white guy with wavy brown hair that was in the Bay Area about a month ago?

Thanks to you, I learned something tonight. For those interested in what exactly I learned, here it is:

Intermeccanica is company Italia, and Torino are the models, it had both names. Apparently the car was also a 3rd model, I think by another manufacture.

Def Intermeccanica Italia
