Description
1978 Triumph Stag – Tahiti Blue with Black Interior
A lovely example of the iconic Triumph Stag finished in Tahiti Blue with a black interior.
This excellent vehicle has recently been purchased back by ourselves from the last owner, to whom our Managing Director originally supplied the car just over two years ago. Unfortunately, due to injury the gentleman has been unable to enjoy the car as intended and has made the difficult decision to let it go. During his ownership it has covered very few miles.
This is a very nice example indeed and has had very few owners throughout its life.
The Stag was first registered on 9th June 1978 and currently shows just over 37, 000 miles, which is believed to be genuine.
