Triumph Stag
1970-1977
Triumph Stag
1970-1977
With the Stag Triumph introduced a new genre of sporting tourer for itself. With its metal detachable hardtop in place, it presented a sophisticated and luxurious appearance. While as a convertible it offered a similar package as a Mercedes-Benz 250 SL at a much reduced price.
Triumph Stag
1970-1977
The Stag was offered with one engine, a three-litre V8 that promised much while in reality dismally failed the reliability test. Because people loved the Stag's styling engine transplants were numerous. Most often used were either the Rover 3.5 V8 or Ford Essex 3.0 V6. Both of these established power plants proved durable giving the Stag a new lease of life.

1970-1977
In the seventies, I was fortunate enough to drive both a Rover V8 and Essex V6-engined Stag. The performance compared to the standard engine varied very little, although the V6 never felt quite as agile as either V8. However, all engines provided fairly brisk performance for the time.

1970-1977
Owning a Triumph in the sixties and seventies was a step up the ladder. Triumph cars came with would veneer dashboards, leather seating and plenty of dials. They were also usually peppy performers and worked hard to prove themselves better or as good as any rival.
Triumph Stag alloy wheels finally replaced pretend alloy wheel trims around 1976.
1970-1977
As the price for alloy wheels dropped with the likes of Ford introducing them on the Capri, so Triumph finally dumped its pretend alloy wheel trims for the real thing.
Triumph Stag has a T-Bar
1970-1977
The T-Bar was fitted on all Stags from the outset offering an additional safety feature as well as strengthening the body making it more rigid when the detachable hardtop was removed.
