The Appeal

The History and Paperwork

• Built on the 12th of October 1971 this Stag starts its journey on the 15th of October
• It then heads to Stockport to be sold by Hollingdrakes Limited
• We can pick up the story of this Stag in the late 90s/early 00s 
• It is at this point that it goes in for a full restoration 
• Looking at pictures taken at the time the car is stripped back to a bare shell
• It is then resprayed from the original Damson to this fetching dark green 
• You gain an understanding of the amount of work completed through all of the paperwork 
• Once the restoration was complete it went straight back on the road
• There is a lot of paperwork present with this Stag 
• More recent paperwork documents its modern history 
• There’s an invoice from 2018 that amounted to £3,246.60
• Within this invoice, there are works for a new Mk.2 alternator, LED lamps, a new brake master cylinder, track control arms, drag struts, polyurethane bushes, rear road springs, and a reconditioned radiator
• The current owner acquired the car in 2020
• They too have completed a lot of work to the car to keep it in tip-top shape 
• Most recently both of the heads have been replaced 
• Its oil pump has been replaced
• The front discs and pads have been uprated 
• The car has also been serviced very recently 
• There are also two sets of keys, old MOT certificates, and old registration documents
• You have a lot of paperwork to sift through when you pick the car up

• This condition is repeated by the front and rear passenger seats 
• The front seats are also rather comfortable 
• Its wood veneer dash is in very good condition indeed
• There are no obvious signs of cracking or delamination of this veneer
• This veneer is then complemented well by the Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel
• The current owner has had a later Stag dashboard top fitted with chrome embellishments
• Looking at the black dash itself you can observe no cracks 
• One lovely feature of the interior can be found on the driver’s sun visor 
• You’ll find an original instructional sticker that explains how to put the roof up/down
• The light green carpet is in good condition on the passenger side and in the rear compartment 
• There are marks on the driver's mat but this is only due to it being used

The Exterior 

• Externally this Triumph Stag looks to be in very presentable condition 
• During its restoration in the early 2000s, the colour was changed to this deep green
• Today this paint still looks very nice across all of the panels 
• There is a recent invoice that documents paintwork that was carried out to the bonnet, front panel, n/s door, o/s rear wing, and n/s door shut
• The accompanying hardtop roof has also been coloured-coded to match the rest of the exterior
• This hardtop is also in great condition, with optional pop-out windows at the rear
• Its soft top fabric roof is in good condition 
• There were no obvious pulls, tears, or other damage observed during the photoshoot
• A lot of the exterior is covered in chrome
• This chrome work is in great condition across the board 
• All of these parts have managed to retain their mirror-like finish 
• This could be thanks to the car's current owner always keeping it in a garage when not in use
• On the boot lid, you’ll spot the lovely picnic hamper holder
• This small detail adds a lot of character to the exterior
• On each corner, you’ll find a well presented alloy wheel
• Overall, the exterior of this Stag is presented in good, presentable, condition 
• You could quite happily display this car at a classic car show during the summer 

The Mechanics 

• Having just received refurbished heads, an oil pump, and full service this Stag performs well
• On the day of the photoshoot, the car was driven to the location 
• During the drive, the car never complained
• It started up on the first attempt every time it was required to move 
• The car shifted between its four forwards speeds without any crunching 
• Its overdrive was also demonstrated on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear during the drive 
• On each occasion, it engaged and subsequently dis-engaged without hesitating 
• As was stated in the history section the car had £3,000 spent on it in 2018
• This included work to the suspension, radiator, and alternator
• This recent expenditure should pay dividends throughout your ownership
• A picture was taken of the oil pressure and volt gauges whilst the car was running
• Overall, this Stag seems to be in good mechanical condition
