Stylist Walter Belgrove resigned from Standard-Triumph in late 1955 leaving the company with a void in the styling department which was not filled until, by a series of coincidences, they began to work with Italian genius Giovanni Michelotti in late 1956. By 1965 his relationship with Triumph was so strong that when he requested a 2000 saloon as a basis for a one-off show-car, one of the Le Mans team’s support vehicles was driven to his Turin studio after the race. When Triumph executives saw the show-car being built, they were so impressed they bought the design and it became the Stag. Michelotti did, though, become a victim of his own success, so much so that he simply did not have the capacity to undertake an update of the TR5’s styling because of the work he was doing for both Triumph.
