Giovanni Michelotti drew the Contessa coupe and sold Triumph a near-identical design that became the 1300.

This Contessa was Hino's take on the rear-engined Renault 4CV it was built under license from — but Hino turned the engine a different way, mounting it longitudinally instead of copying Renault's layout.
