Triumph Stag: Manual/ Overdrive & Fully Restored
Designed by Michelotti as a luxury sports car, the Stag was enthusiastically received when launched in 1970. The Italian styling, V8 engine/ performance and Triumph brand should have guaranteed success but a rushed implementation led to the car quickly gaining a poor reputation.
Post-production solutions to this lack of development have been applied and the Stag is now recognised as a stylish classic with values rising quickly over recent years
Unfortunately, Jamie and I still get excited when an exceptional car arrives at Milestones and this Stag ticks just about every box. The Heritage Certificate in the history file confirms the car was manufactured on 20th June 1977, just four days before production ceased and the 79th from last Stag built.
