The Triumph Stag is one of the quintessential British roadsters. a gorgeous V8 engine and styled by Michelotti. its mere eight-year lifespan spawned a disproportionate number of enthusiasts. owners' clubs and film appearances. including a role in the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever. (That makes the Triumph Stag a proper Bond car. right?)

The Car

First registered on the 5th of July 1974. this Stag appears to be a good example of the breed with all the major mechanical systems in fine fettle. The owner is a keen enthusiast and talented home mechanic who has taken the opportunity to sensibly upgrade the car (look at that header tank!) to make it more drivable and better able to cope with 21st century roads and traffic.

The three-litre V8 engine is smoke-free. something you can check for yourself on the video. We are big fans of manual gearboxes for our sportscars but have to admit that in this case the automatic ‘box suits the car's character and nature much better; she's a big. lazy cruiser and there are few finer places to be than behind the thin-rimmed leather steering wheel with the wind ruffling your hair and the smell of unburned hydrocarbons mingling with the wonderful whoofle from the exhaust. (We'd suggest turning the volume right up when you play the two videos. )

The car comes with a box of spares that includes an outdoor car cover and a set of door seals.
