Lot 101: Triumph Stag

When the Stag was launched in 1971 it ticked all of the desirability boxes. It was styled by Michellotti, it was a convertible, which could seat four adults and it had a V8 engine. This was a world-beater, yes? The reasons for it not being a world-beater are well documented but the reasons for it to be a world-beater remained unchanged. 36 years later and the Stag is getting the recognition it deserves, with fist rate examples making over �20,000. All the glitches have been ironed out, modern oils and corrosion inhibitors ensure that engines last and the Stag is now recognised for what it really is, a beautifully balanced 2 + 2 open GT car with classic Michelotti lines.This example has been in the same ownership for over 20 years and benefited from a full restoration in the 1990's by a well respected company in the West Midlands. It is offered complete with an extensive history folder, which includes a number of previous MoT certificates, many invoices and Stag Owners Club membership card.This example has been in the same ownership for over 20 years and benefited from a full restoration in the 1990's by a well respected company in the West Midlands.

It comes with both hard and soft tops and an anti-theft locking device. There is also evidence of a Tracker system being fitted but it is not known if this is still active.A really solid, nice driving Stag offering outstanding value.
