Our Take:
- The Triumph Stag is a rare gem from the golden era of British motoring. Released to compete with the likes of the Mercedes SL series, it was intended to capture the grand tourer's elegance and power. With only about 25,877 units made over its eight-year production run, the Stag remains a classic example of British automotive ambition—a star-crossed love story between style and engineering.
- Sporting an iconic V8 engine, the Stag was intended to offer robust performance with a touch of sophistication. However, the V8 in the Stag was notorious for overheating issues, leading many enthusiasts today to lovingly restore or modify their engines to keep them running sweetly. This 1973 model, with a working overdrive transmission (an appealing feature for highway cruising), suggests that someone has already done the heavy lifting on mechanical maintenance.
- Old English White exterior paired with a brown interior speaks to a classic color combination that's stood the test of time. The wire wheels enhance its vintage charm, harkening back to an era where vehicle aesthetics were just as important as what lay beneath the hood. Although there's some rust and chrome pitting, these are typical of a car this age and often become points of pride for restoration enthusiasts.
- The dual-top configuration (convertible and hardtop) gives this Stag a versatile appeal. While the soft top is like new, the hardtop does need a little TLC with its headliner. The Stag’s design allowed for easy transformation between a chic coupe and a breezy convertible—a win-win for any classic car lover looking for flexibility in any season.
