1976 Triumph Stag MK2
Highlights
- Impressive Jade Green livery
- Engine rebuilt circa 400 miles ago
- "As new" alloy wheels
- Kept in dry storage with minimal mileage in recent years
The Appeal
Introduced in an attempt to combat Mercedes-Benz' new R107, The Triumph Stag was a British Sports car that was loaded with Italian character, thanks in no small part to Giovanni Michelotti's hand in its impressive lines. The car was an immediate icon of the 70s, and has become a very popular classic ever since, supported by owner's clubs and a very passionate fanbase.
This 1976 examples comes to us in a beguiling Jade livery, with a contrasting black cabin that carries all of the vehicle's distinctive 70s milieu with pride. We understand this car to have been subject to an engine rebuild only 400 miles ago.
Thew car has covered minimal miles in the last three years. It could do with a little bit of servicing - but with those handsome lines, and very attractive paintwork, we've no doubt this lovely example will attract plenty of enthusiasts happy to take on that mere trifle.
