Introduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and servo-backed disc/drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard- and soft-top roofs. Despite being in production for seven years during which time 25,877 cars were made, a mere 9,500 or so are thought to have survived.

Finished in Triumph French Blue with contrasting Black vinyl trim, ‘SAR 324R’ was repainted approximately 15 years ago and the condition still holds up well. Accompanying the Stag is a factory hardtop that is finished in a matching French Blue. Displaying a credible 70,783 recorded miles and fitted with the automatic transmission option, the vendor reports the car to be running well and having had a recent brake service. The vendor advises a check-over of the vehicle prior to any road use, essentially because the Stag has formed part of a private collection for a number of years, with little use during that time.

PLEASE NOTE: This lot is listed on the HPi database as ‘Condition Alert Damaged’. It is believed that the Triumph was restored after the damage happened.
