Lot details

Registration No: GJP 528N
Chassis No: LD32972A
MOT: Exempt

  • Thought to have been off the road since 1987-8
  • In current registered ownership for the last 39 years
  • Offered with matching hard top

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.

A 1974 model year example presented in Red with contrasting Tan interior, this particular stag is offered from a deceased estate having been in ownership since the car was just 10 years old. Now off the road for some time, with the tax disc suggesting since 1987 or 1987, this particular car comes accompanied by a matching hardtop and is offered for sale with No Reserve. Please note ‘GJP 528N’ does not come with a current V5C document or any accompanying paperwork.
