http://hetclub.com/italia/italia.htmThere is no evidence that an Italia convertible was ever built. What you see in this article is a picture of a model.
There is evidence that a prototype plus 25 copies, and one Hornet Italia was built.

Just a clay model.
OK, I confess, I have it and have been hiding it. Here are a couple pictures I took of it the last time it was out.
