Triumph Stag V8

History

The Triumph Stag was introduced in June 1970 with a unique 3.0-litre V8 engine. The Mark II Stag arrived in February 1973 with many revisions .The Stag had its best year for sales in that year with almost 5500 buyers and the model was discontinued in July 1977. The model’s future looked particularly bright if road tests at the time were to be believed. Most pundits praised Triumph’s new V8 for its style, refinement and quality, plus its fine touring qualities. Four and a half decades on and you can now add durability!

This car is extremely tame in its nature. Despite V8 power the innovative Stag is more laid back than watching cricket on a summers afternoon whilst sipping warm English beer. Ideal for spending summer days touring Jersey, with a stop for a coffee or a cool beer overlooking the sea.

A classic 1970’s 4 seater convertible that will effortlessly take you topless through coastal roads and country lanes, with a very easy to erect hood for the occasional shower or summer cloudburst.
