The Appeal

The History and Paperwork

• This car has been partial to a proper restoration and as such a lot of parts are reported to have been replaced 
• The previous owner was an engineer who stripped the car back to a bare shell 
• They then went through with new or replacement parts wherever necessary 
• It is reported that the V8 was overhauled a few years ago but this has not been documented 
• During the restoration the hood frame was powder-coated, and a new Mohair soft-top was acquired
• With the new Mohair, hood retracted the cabin is filled with glorious V8 noise
• This example has the additional benefit of being a manual with overdrive

The Interior

• Thanks to the restoration the seats and their material are both in great condition 
• The front and rear seats both look to be near perfect
• To match the black vinyl seats, the door cards have also been trimmed with the same material
• In the footwells, the black carpets are also in lovely condition upfront
• The centre console is in very good shape
• Stained veneer complements the black elements very nicely, bringing a touch more class to the interior 
• This part alone makes this example very sort after
• Behind the gear stick, you’ll find the heater controls and modern Pioneer stereo 
• The stereo appears to have Bluetooth connectivity
• A beautiful Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel has been fitted 
• This wheel is in great condition and looks hardly used
• Just behind the wheel are the bank of driving instruments
• Overall, the interior of this Stag is presented in very good condition indeed

The Exterior 

• Triumph and Michelotti hit the nail on the head when they were styling the Stag
• The sleek styling with flashes of chrome makes for a beautiful classic 
• The paintwork has more than likely been seen too during the restoration
• There may be a few marks on the rims, but nothing that should require restoration
• It appears to be running on four matching tyres
• All of the extra little details on the exterior are also presented very well
• The headlights and taillights all have nice clear lenses
• The chrome still looks amazing
• Returning a nice reflection, it is these small chrome details that make this exterior look even better
• Being a convertible, it has a relatively new Mohair hood
• As part of the restoration, the hood frame was powder coated and retrimmed with a nice hood
• As such it is presented very well indeed
• Whether you wish to travel with the roof up, or down, then you can do it with the knowledge that you have one excellent looking example

The Mechanics 

• Under the bonnet, you’ll find a healthy example of Triumph's V8
• It is reported that this engine has been through a rebuild although there isn’t any paperwork to confirm this
• The previous owner was an engineer, so we can imagine that the mechanicals are in great shape
• Mated to the 3.0-litre V8 is a manual gearbox
• With four speeds and an overdrive facility, it is a great gearbox
