Italian custom Triumph specialist, Nicola Martini's lastest creation, "T-Type" is a great looking Thruxton with a Wiseco big bore/stroker kit (taking it to 988cc) and custom body work.   Posted on our blog

All that beautiful cooling fin work on an oil cooled engine and this dude want to cover it up? Seems a shame when you see the detail on the rest of his engine.

I dunno... to me I wouldn't call them fried eggs... I think they are supposed to be olives... After all... the guy's name is Martini

I don't know... to me the fried eggs don't quite fit and hide a lot of beauty. These engines look great and if anything I'd be looking for a way to enhance their beauty, not hide it.
