- Low mileage and low owner example

Like the Triumph 2000 it was developed from, the Triumph Stag it was styled by Italian maestro Giovanni Michelotti and featured the monocoque construction, independent suspension, disc/drum brakes, power-assisted rack and the pinion steering and driveline of that saloon. All Stags were four-seater convertible coupés but for structural rigidity and to meet new American rollover standards at the time, the Stag required a B-pillar 'roll bar' hoop connected to the windscreen frame by a T-bar.
The power plant though, was an all-new OHC, V8 of 3000cc capacity fed by a pair of Stromberg carburettors and the newcomer received a warm reception at the time of launch in 1970, although longevity of the engine proved to be a problem. Most Stags were fitted with a Borg Warner automatic gearbox together with electric windows, power steering and power-assisted brakes fitted as standard. Very desirable, the Stag is well supported through various clubs and specialist suppliers.
This wonderful privately owned example was first registered on 23rd June 1976, presented in Tahiti Blue with black interior which reflects the very low mileage for this example with very good woodwork and manual gearbox. Boasting the original hardtop in very good condition, the car has had just six owners in 49 years including our motoring enthusiast owner since 2018. In recent years the car has been very well looked after and maintained and upon inspection the V8 fired up on first turn of the key. The history file includes history back to 1976 including original Triumph passport to service book and Brochure coupled to numerous MoT certificates and invoices.
If you are looking for a very good Stag , look no further, sensibly priced and in very good order with an MoT certificate until June 2025 ready to enjoy. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
*Interested parties should note that after an extensive drive we have noticed a slight brake bind on the rear driver's side on this example.
