Introduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, and servo-backed disc / drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell, the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph.

Finished in Red complemented to a Black vinyl interior, 'GMA 960N' is a desirable manual transmission example fitted with overdrive. Just before the Stag's current ownership, it was subject to an extensive restoration in 2010. A detailed photographic record is included in the sale evidencing the bodywork being restored and repainted, with the engine, gearbox, suspension, and braking system also being overhauled. Displaying a credible c.60,000, 'GMA 960N' has recently been subject to some light recommissioning due to a period of storage, with Price & Joy Classics being entrusted to carry out the work. This work included fresh engine and gearbox oil, new gaskets and hoses plus a new SU fuel pump and more, with the cost coming to £4,282.45. Offered with a large collection of the aforementioned restoration photographs, a collection of invoices and the current V5C Registration Document.
