Like the Triumph 2000 it was developed from, the Stag was styled by Italian maestro Giovanni Michelotti and featured the monocoque construction, independent suspension, disc/drum brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and driveline of that Saloon. The power plant, though, was an all-new OHC, V8 of 2995cc capacity fed by a pair of Stromberg carburettors. The newcomer received a warm reception at the time of launch in 1970.

This car from 1973 has received extensive restoration work in the past and shows little or no rust. There are a handful of finishing jobs requiring attention to make sure that the car runs and drives expertly but these are not considered to be exhaustive as the car was in semi-regular use up until 18 months ago when it was laid up following the passing of its then owner. It has previously been the subject of a Category C insurance claim in 2004 which the insurer chose not to repair. Clearly, since the car has been used in the years between then and now the repairs have been undertaken and the car presents today as a solid and worthy car for final fettling.  It even boasts a stainless steel exhaust as of just two years ago.  The car has travelled just 100 miles since the last MOT in 2013 and shows just 15,000miles on the odometer but we cannot warrant this claim since we regret no history has been uncovered for the vehicle from its previous long-term owner. There is however a V5C present and this confirms the correct engine accompanies this car, and the registration JOW 456L remains.
