Triumph Stag

Overheating, electrical problems, blown cylinder head gaskets and overdrive faults all conspired to hide one of the best seventies sportscars from proper acclaim.

One by one the production problems were cured or overcome by good maintenance practise but to a great degree the damage was done - it was not until recently that it has started to receive the accolades the car justly deserves.

Our car, a 1974 version, post-dates the aforementioned production flaws and is a fine, four seat sportscar. With its flexible 3 litre, V8 engine, manual gearbox with overdrive, superb ride and interior appointment, the Stag is an excellent choice for touring and fast roads. As such it is a real option to the refinement and performance of the continental Mercedes 280 SL but has the ready charm of a Triumph sportscar with a dash of seventies nostalgia.
