To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s coronation (she was crowned on June 2, 1953) Italian designer Mattia Foroni has come up with a customised example of another British icon, the Triumph. The Thruxton features carefully selected clippings from the Daily News and New Chronicle, used all over the fuel tank and fenders. Apparently, Mattia spent more than 220 hours of intense work for this coronation special, as he wanted to embed the essence of the English spirit in this build. Apart from the images, the motorcycle also receives vintage knobs and tyres, a diamond-stitched saddle, custom wheels and springs.
