The Appeal
Whether you’re here for the V8 burble or those sleek Michelotti Italianate lines, there is something altogether compelling about a Stag. Even the name is appealing.
With its choice of hard top and soft top and wood-lined, four seat cabin, Triumph’s big GT convertible appeals to the head and the heart.
Restored over the last 20 years at a cost exceeding £50,000, this is a very good example of an understandably popular classic. The work included an engine rebuild and bare metal respray and the car retains all the quality of that work. More recently the vendor has replaced the blue soft top - the work was done by Aldridge Trimming - and refurbished hard top.
Annual MOTs since 2006 provide independent confirmation of the condition. The car is sold with a current MOT, although it is of course usefully MOT, tax and ULEZ exempt.
With spring around the corner and summer threatening its arrival, this is a great time to indulge in a great example of one of Britain’s loveliest convertibles.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
