The Triumph Stag is one of Giovanni Michelotti's best known designs. Produced between 1970 and 1977, the Stag presented a more muscular look compared with the Triumphs of the 1960s, and also featured a powertrain to match – the 3.0 litre Triumph V8. This 1973 car has been in its current ownership since 2013, and has been regularly serviced and MoT'd throughout its ownership. The car runs and drives very well and has been used on a regular basis, but not excessively. A lot of work on the car was undertaken prior to the vendor's purchase, including a new cylinder head, water pump, new front brake discs and pads, front and rear bushes, springs and joints, as well as an automatic gearbox service. The bodywork is in very good condition, and the underside and engine bay are also very clean. Inside, the car presents very well, however the driver's seat will require a small amount of stitching. The rear seats have also received seat belt fixtures, allowing an additional element of usability. This is a fine example that is ready to be used and enjoyed.
