Triumph TR5 by Michelotti    (It's what Hugo90 said, just slightly rephrased)

Can you be more specific? This is no ordinary TR5 (all of which sported Michelotti-designed bodies - example below).

I'd be tempted to call you both right, since the Michelotti.com website calls it (and everything it did that was Geneva based) Genevra. But then, it ain't my call.

Dependin on one's native tongue, Geneva can be spelled any one of a number of ways.

I'll accept Triumph TR5 Ginevra

I believe the correct name is TR5 pi (that is what is written on the car):

the affix 'pi' means in this case nothing more than 'petrol injection'

You might be right, but the pi is part of 'the badge':

All that is correct but the car has a name, which I still need for the point!
