The Appeal
The Triumph Stag is a classic British tourer, known for its comfortable ride and versatility on a variety of roads. With pleasing aesthetics, impressive performance and decidedly continental aesthetic, this has gone on to be one of the most recognisable classics in British motoring history.
This particular 1972 model has been meticulously restored, with a full body and mechanical overhaul carried out in 2009. In the process, a charming colour scheme of white and red has been fitted throughout the car, both internally and externally, and the Triumph powerplant has been replaced with an impressive 3.5L Rover V8. Fully reconditioned, this Stag is a beautiful classic that is comfortable and easy to drive, perfect for daily commuting or long scenic drives.
