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 (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard and a soft-top roof. Despite being in production for seven years, during which time 25,877 cars were made, a mere 9,500 or so are thought to have survived.

First registered on the 24^th of February, 1972, this UK-market manual transmission equipped Stag has continuously been well-maintained by its custodians, as evidenced by the accompanying history file. Several invoices dating back to the early 1980s show that no expense has been spared, the previous owner having put the convertible through a full body overhaul and repaint into British Racing Green in 2017, with completion in 2018, which included work to much of the chromework where necessary. Pleasingly, the Triumph retains the original Beige leather interior which is described by the vendor as being in 'very good' condition and the recent fitment of a new hood has improved the car significantly. The current vendor acquired the Stag just after the restoration work in 2018 and immediately set about improving the mechanical condition of the car. He replaced the water pump and hoses, had new brake and clutch master cylinders fitted, replaced the engine mountings and had the front suspension rebuilt and during 2019 the ignition system was treated to an overhaul. Offered with a factory hardtop present, the vendor describes the Stag to be in 'very good condition' all round and purportedly 'it drives very well' with 'a great exhaust sound and no cooling issues detected'. Limited space within the vendor's collection means this '70s icon needs to find a new home. There’s a substantial history file along with the current V5C Registration Document.
