The Appeal
Launched in 1970 and never given a direct successor, the Triumph Stag was truly one of Michelotti’s masterpieces, and was aimed at the luxury sports car market.
A genuine four-seater car, the whole family were able to enjoy top-down motoring, with added protection thanks to the ‘roll bar’ B-pillar fitted to conform to American safety standards, due to a large proportion of Stag production being destined for foreign shores.
Whilst there was never any official model designation, pre-1973 cars are often referred to as ‘mk1’ with post-73 cars being known by enthusiasts as ‘mk2’ examples.
This particular example was purchased new by the one and only owner, who has kept the car for nearly 50 years, cherishing it, using it and enjoying it as a family vehicle. A true example of a car becoming ‘part of the family’ this delightful Stag starts on-the-button and is ready to use and enjoy for many years to come.
History/Paperwork
- Purchased new by the vendor, the car was initially registered into his business’ name, and then later transferred into his private ownership, hence the V5 showing one former keeper.
- Supplied new by Octogan Motors of Warminster, Wiltshire, the car is now only being sold due to a long-term health condition preventing the owner from using and enjoying the vehicle as it should be.
- The owners manuals, V5, numerous invoices and other miscellaneous documentation is included with the vehicle, all contained in a neat folder.
- During the vendor’s tenure with the vehicle, the car has been maintained well, previously re-sprayed and has had any known corrosion issues attended to in recent years, with the underside of the vehicle protected to ensure its continued survival.
- Current MoT valid until October 2023, despite the vehicle being exempt from mandatory testing by virtue of its age.
The Interior
- Previously re-trimmed, the interior presents in very good order throughout.
- There is a small rip visible to the cover of the front passenger seat, on the inner base bolster.
- The carpets are in good condition throughout, with no heavy wear or staining noted, though some attention is required around the driver’s footwell.
- Up above, the headliner of the hard top is secure, though the trim around the rear window would benefit from some attention.
- Ahead of the driver, the dashboard is in good shape, and free of any cracks or damage.
- The high-traffic areas such as the door sill covers, steering wheel, shifter and door cards display a commensurate usage patina.
- The centre console requires some attention, with the stereo not sitting correctly and the trims around the choke being loose.
- In the boot, the rear carpet trim requires re-affixing, but presents well overall.
- The vendor notes that the radio system is not currently operating, though the dials and gauges are working as they should be.
The Exterior
- Previously re-sprayed.
- Presents well overall.
- All chrome details, fixtures and fittings present.
- The passenger door has previously been replaced, and does not quite fit correctly at the rear, and is a slightly different shade of red.
- The chrome details present well, with some light pitting around the window frames, and some more visible marks noted on the upper edges of both the front and rear bumpers.
- The passenger door handle is stiff, but works as it should.
- There are a few patches of bubbling noted on the hard top, around the rain gutters and along the lower edge of the rear window.
- The paintwork on the boot lid shows some flat areas, though these may polish out with a DA.
- Looking closely, there are some paint runs visible on the nearside rear pillar of the hard top.
- The vendor reports that the soft-top is in excellent condition, with no waterproofing issues.
- All four wheels present well, though there is some corrosion visible to the inner lips. Also comes with four spare wheel trims.
- There is no sign of any obvious accident damage, or any particularly visible scuffs or heavy wear on the body.
- Set of four wheel trims included
The Mechanicals
- 3.0-litre Triumph V8 engine in good health.
- Starts, runs and idles very happily even from cold.
- No excessive smoking or untoward behaviours noted during our photo shoot.
- The vendor reports no known mechanical issues with the engine or transmission.
- Switchable factory overdrive on the four-speed gearbox.
- The most recent MoT highlighted advisories for a small oil leak, a coolant leak, leaking windscreen washer bottle and the rear brakes being imbalanced.
Summary
With just one owner from new, this cherished and adored example of the ‘mk1’ Triumph Stag requires some TLC to bring it back to its best, though it is useable and enjoyable as it sits.
Reluctantly up for sale due to an ongoing health condition, the vendor hopes that this Stag will go to a committed enthusiast that will not only attend to any minor issues that have been mentioned, but will continue to cherish and enjoy the vehicle just as the vendor has done so for nearly 50 years.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
