Highlights

The Appeal
The Triumph Stag is one of those cars which attracts a loyal following. Its sharp styling and capable mechanicals put it firmly on the map as a desirable classic British sports car.
This particular Stag has the benefit of a manual transmission with overdrive, coupled to a 3.5-litre Rover V8 engine, allowing for superb performance.
There are a few cosmetic areas which could be gradually improved, but the vendor tells us that the car is running and driving with no mechanical faults, having recently been treated to a professional engine tune.
