The Appeal
The Triumph Stag remains one of Britain's most distinctive and charismatic GTs. Boasting elegant Michelotti styling with the character of a home-grown V8 engine. It's perhaps one of the most iconic cars ever produced in Britain, and at car shows and rallies, you're likely to see a flotilla of the sports car lined up in grand formation.
This 1976 example comes with notable provenance, having been featured in the November 2017 Practical Classics buyer's guide, and benefits from an older restoration completed to a high standard with various panel replacements carried out. The car presents well today with rechromed or replaced bumpers, a cleaned and waterproofed roof, and its original interior intact with all instruments working.
The vendor reports that the V8 starts well and sounds excellent on the open road. Currently stored in a garage and attracting interest from passers-by, this Stag is ready and waiting for its lucky new keepers.image.png1.16 MB
