  • And the Triumph Stag) – ‘A Free Pencil…’
    www.wheels-alive.co.uk Michelotti (and the Triumph Stag) – ‘A free pencil…’ Published: 4th December 2015 Author: Dave Moss Online version: https://www.wheels-alive.co.uk/michelotti-and-the-triumph-stag-a-free-pencil/ 2015 marks the 45th anniversary of the launch of the Triumph Stag. Dave Moss looks back at the car and its talented instigator, Giovanni Michelotti… In 1968, the Triumph Stag – and various other shadowy prototypes – were oddball survivors in the new BLMC stable. At the time marque plans were being fiercely guarded and nurtured by previously-independent operations then recently joined in an uneasy merger. But… the speedy and far-reaching model rationalisation that should have followed never materialised – and that allowed the Stag project just enough time to flourish. www.wheels-alive.co.uk The 45th anniversary of the car’s launch in 1970 begs a look back at the career of one man central to Triumph’s 1960’s success – who almost accidentally provided the Stag’s launch pad. For, despite its looks in production form, the car was neither a clever marketing initiative, or a natural development of an existing Triumph, dreamed up in a now long- demolished Canley corridor. If the Stag has an evolutionary background, it’s in Turin, not Coventry. Giovanni Michelotti was born in 1921, the son of an engine machine shop foreman. At 16 years old, he was an apprentice at Carozzeria Farina, gaining experience before and after the war in the art, craft and skills of coachbuilding, His first major project was the Alfa Romeo 6C 2500, built by Farina in small quantities in 1947, after which it was a natural progression to establish his own styling and prototyping operation – Studio Technico e Carrozzeria G.
