The Appeal

With sophisticated styling and a potent V8 powerplant, there's more than a gentle dose of continental-style luxury in the Triumph Stag. These fine-cut, luxuriant and comfortable tourers offered plenty of cabin spacer and a laid back, comfortable ride for all those lucky enough to get behind the wheel - not to mention utterly impeccable kerb appeal.

It's in this way that the car represents one of the finest British classics out there - certainly one of the most iconic, and the Stag Owners Clubs have developed a remarkable reputation all of their own. There are few cars with the Stag's impeccable support network.

This fine 1972 example comes to us in excellent order, with an extensive paperwork file, plenty of work having been completed and - of course - a lovely Royal Blue colour scheme.
