Description
Here we have for sale a 1972 Triumph Stag Convertible. Mk1 Automatic.
We would describe this as a running project. Overall the car is in OK condition benefitting from having a fair bit of work carried out in the past few years:
Engine strip down, new head gaskets, oil seals, timing chains etc.
Lumenition Electronic ignition.
Mohair Hood.
Transmission cooler.
Rear shock absorbers.
Welding to boot floor / exhaust mount.
Stainless exhuast system - large bore sounds lovely.
Tyres.
Front Brakes.
Alternator (series 2 conversion).
Battery.
Ball joints.
Rear Diff.
New ignition leads.
Carburettor diaphragms.
Once warmed up the Stag drives lovely. Pulls nicely and the auto gearbox shifts as it should. Brakes work as they should and pull up nicely. The original V8 sounds fantastic through the stainless exhaust system with that glorious V8 burble.
The black interior is in lovely condition with no rips on the seats, the covers having been replaced a few years back, door cards and panels all good along with the carpets that were replaced a few years back also.
The dash is in good condition with the addition of an oil pressure gauge. All gauges seem to work as they should.
The body has been repainted a good while ago and is showing signs of wear. Some scrapes and flaking areas along with some dents.
For an A1 example you will need to budget for a respray. But as a daily driver it polishes up OK.
Chrome is good.
Has an immobiliser fitted.
Wheels are showing signs of corrosion in places, but the tyres have hardly covered any miles id say and are period Michelin MXV all round
The hood has been replaced in the past with a good Mohair cover in black and looks smart. The rear catch needs some adjustment however as is a bit of a struggle to close correctly.
All in all a good basis for a rolling restoration / improving as you go Triumph Stag.
Possible part ex with cash my way.
