Stylish, fast and practical, the Stag began life as a Triumph 2000-based styling exercise by Italian maestro Giovanni Michelotti. A 2+2 convertible, Michelotti's design featured a quad-lamp grille and sculpted front and rear ends, the latter destined to appear on many future Triumphs. By the time production commenced in 1970, the 2000's six-cylinder engine had been replaced by a 3-litre V8 based on an overhead-camshaft four - later to power the Dolomite range - already being produced by Triumph for SAAB. A padded, 'T'-shaped roll bar bracing the door pillars and windscreen was one of the Stag's most distinctive features, and the model could also be had in soft-top, hardtop, or soft-with-hardtop forms. Motor Sport described the Stag's interior as, "well appointed, having all the usual instrumentation one would expect in a high performance car".

Delivered new to Switzerland, the left-hand drive, automatic transmission Stag was purchased by the current vendor from the Swiss dealership Classic Car Connection AG on 21st October 2015 at 116,748 kilometres. Sold on behalf of a customer, the car was said to be in roadworthy condition but with cosmetic defects affecting both the interior and exterior. It has since been on static display and will require recommissioning prior to road use.

Accompanying documentation consists of a cancelled Swiss Carte Grise and copies of the 2015 advertisement and purchase invoice.
