The Appeal
A good Triumph Stag is a class act. Burbling V8, comfortable, spacious cabin, decent boot and smooth, relaxed handling. All in all, a great car for long drives or short jaunts.
This car is a bit of a gem for enthusiasts. Over the last five years, it has been comprehensively restored by well-regarded specialists, the work covering bodywork, paintwork, mechanicals, and interior trim. There is even a new roof with a powder-coated frame and a refurbished hard top.
Finished in Old English White over black interior and accented with neat anodised Minilite-style alloys, this is a very pretty car in great condition. A desirable manual box completes a compelling package.
