Equipment
3-liter, 145hp V8, 4-speed, Minilite-style wheels, hardtop, Holley carb, air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, walnut dash, Sony CD stereo, power windows.
Condition
Mostly very clean engine bay. Light scuff on the hardtop. Very good paint, chrome and interior. A quite well done Stag with nothing to pick on, which is something you rarely hear when it comes to these often flawed and compromised cars. Cosmetically restored in 2006, then mechanically restored in 2014 and recently a regional concours winner.
Market commentary
The Stag featured what is essentially two Triumph fours on a common crank to form a V-8. The engine was problematic, and quickly earned a poor reputation. It's also more of a cruiser than a sports car, so it didn't appeal to Triumph's traditional buyers. They've never been particularly valuable, and not all that many have survived, let alone received a quality restoration like this one has. It would be hard to find a better one than this, and while the result here is top dollar, it was deserved.
