Triumph TR5 by Michelotti    (It's what Hugo90 said, just slightly rephrased)
Measures with mics, marks with chalk, cuts with axe, beats to fit and paints to match

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

Actually, it's GENEVA...built in 1966...still on the road, presumaably located in Bern, Switzerland.  Only one ever built.

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':
