About this car

The Stag was Triumph's answer to the grand-touring Mercedes SL: a four-seat Michelotti-styled convertible powered by a 3.0-litre V8. This 1973 automatic is finished in Sapphire Blue with a blue mohair hood, which the dealer describes as in good condition, and it rides on chrome wire wheels.

It shows about 95,850 miles (154,259 km on the page) and has had five previous owners. The original seats and dashboard are reported to be in very good condition, and the engine is said to have good oil pressure with a smooth-shifting gearbox.

A new battery and fuel pump have just been fitted. The car is supplied fully serviced with 12 months' MOT, and the current MOT runs to October 2027.
