In 1965 Giovanni Michelotti asked to his friend Harry Webster, Standard-Triumph Director of Engineering & Development, to supply him a 2000 Mk1 to transform in a convertible to display at the forthcoming Turin Motor Show. Webster agreed on the understanding that he could keep this model-to-be for him. Michelotti's design was so appreciated that not only Triumph produced the convertible, but its styling affected the 2000 Mk2. Born to compete with Mercedes, the Stag suffered from overheating problems of the 3 litres V8 engine, which were only partially reduced in the Mk2.
