The Appeal
The Triumph Stag may well be one of the most ambitious cars that the company ever built. With elegant Michelotti lines and a great big V8 stowed under the rather sleek bonnet, these cars perfectly balanced executive-level comforts with an impressive turn of speed - and quickly became one of the most desirable tourers of their era.
This 1975 example was subject to a comprehensive restoration in 2021, and it's certainly looking the part. The restoration included a completely new interior and a full engine rebuild (including an electric cooling fan and an upgraded radiator), and it has left the car in fine fettle from soft-top to tyres.
Strikingly presented in white, with a luxuriant red cabin, this Stag is a truly handsome beast, and we've no doubt it'll attract plenty of attention.
