The Triumph Stag, introduced in 1970, was envisioned as a luxurious grand tourer with a distinctive blend of performance and refinement. Designed by Giovanni Michelotti, it boasted sleek lines, a graceful profile, and a unique T-shaped roll bar, which became its signature feature. Under the hood, the Stag housed a 3.0-litre V8 engine, renowned for its smooth power delivery and distinctive exhaust note. However, early models were plagued by reliability issues, particularly with the cooling system, tarnishing its reputation. Despite this setback, the Stag's elegant design and spirited performance endeared it to enthusiasts and, over time, retrospective solutions were found for the engine issues. Production ceased in 1977, with over 25,000 units built. Today, the Triumph Stag enjoys a good following, cherished for its timeless styling and the allure of open-top motoring.

We are pleased to present this example which, as can be seen from the photographs, requires recommissioning and / or restoration. However, it appears to be largely complete and as a consequence, it will make a great restoration project for its new owner. The original Triumph V8 engine appears to still be fitted rather than a Rover V8 engine which was a common change of the time.

The Stag has stood for the last 5 years or so and is only being sold due to that fact that the owner has unfortunately passed away.

It rolls for loading purposes, but we have not attempted to start the car.

The Stag comes with the original driver's handbook, plus the V5C and some invoices. There are also some parts in the car and the boot.

Given the condition, we recommend you inspect the Stag to know exactly what you are purchasing.
