Triumph TRX, a challenge beyond the limits

There are cars for which pictures tell more than thousands of words. Triumph TRX is one of those. A line so perfect not to require any chrome embellishment. A car too much in advance for her times, too complex to build but that remains a demonstration of the capabilities of Standard and its chief designer, Walter Belgrove.

Walter Belgrove, the man with a magic pencil

Donald Healey said that he was “the first real British designer”. This would suffice to define Walter Belgrove. The Triumph myth owns much to the work, imagination and creativity of this artist and designer. Even today we remain captured by the lines of the Triumph that he shaped: suffice it to think of TR2 and TR3, not to say ofth e mythical “Flow-Free” of the ‘30s. Walter Belgrove is one of those figures that, as a Triumph enthusiast, I would like to have met once in my life, but unfortunately the time-machine is not invented yet. But we can luckily know him a bit more closer thanks to our friend Tom Robinson, that I wholeheartedly thanks, that tells us of his meeting with Walter, occurred in the 70s.

We therefore thanks in advance all those that could provide us with more information on the life and works of Walter Belgrove.
