This MKII Triumph Stag is a wonderfully presented example of the charismatic classic British open-top sports car, offered from long-term ownership, and benefitting from a previous comprehensive restoration. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 3.0-litre Triumph V8, driving the rear wheels via an upgraded three-speed ‘Jatco’ automatic transmission with electric overdrive. This example has been with the seller for 13 years, during which time it underwent a comprehensive restoration, which was completed in January 2017. This Stag won the ‘Pride of Ownership’ award at the Triumph Car Club of WA ‘All Triumph & Standard Day in 2017, as well as first place for best car at the Triumph Car Club of WA’s ‘All Triumph & Standard Day’ event in 2019. The odometer indicates 6,853 Kms, however this is not warranted. The vehicle is Australian delivered as evidenced by the ADR compliance plate fitted on the radiator support panel. The vehicle is currently on Western Australian concessional licensing which is transferable if required provided the new owner meets the legal requirements of WA’s Department of Transport (DOT) rules. (e.g. being a current member of an approved DOT motoring club etc.) The MKII variant is identifiable by twin coachlines, coloured sills, and a revised instrument dial. This example was originally finished in Sapphire Blue, but is now presented in the appealing shade of Tahiti Blue with a black convertible roof, over a tan leather and vinyl-trimmed interior, featuring a black dashboard and centre console, and handsome wood veneer trim inlays. It rides on a set of 14-inch machine-cut four-spoke alloy wheels finished in gloss-black, which are shod in Sumitomo SC890 whitewall tyres. The current specification includes a wood-trimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel, Smiths gauges, heater and ventilation controls, electric windows, and elasticated door card pockets. The original Triumph Stag steering wheel (in excellent condition) can be included should the new owner wish to maintain originality. This Stag has been upgraded with a high-volume Davies Craig electric fan with control module, an electronic ignition system, a high-torque starter motor, and a Sony stereo with Bluetooth connectivity and USB and auxiliary inputs. The car comes with the full original toolkit, two show trophies, and a large folder containing many invoices from the previous ownership, and every invoice for all parts, components, and work performed on the car during its restoration. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: all interior components, including the seats, carpets, door cards, T-bar trim, soft top, and boot trim were all purchased new and installed during the restoration. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. The chrome work on the left-hand rear bumper return is showing some signs of discoloration and would benefit with rechroming at some stage in the future. A ‘spare’ bumper return can be included should the new owner wish, however this also needs attention. As evidenced by the photos, the front lower valance paintwork is showing some paint chipping and would benefit from a minor respray. This Stag’s most recent maintenance was carried out in September 2022 at an indicated 5,940 Kms, which consisted of the right-hand ball joint being replaced, and the right-hand front wheel bearing being adjusted. A strut top mounting was replaced in October 2021 at an indicated 4,498 Kms. The gearbox speedo gear and selector lever, as well as the wiper stalk and delay switch were replaced in April 2017 at an indicated 191 Kms. The car’s comprehensive restoration carried out between 2010 and 2017, and included all major components either being replaced or reconditioned, a bare-metal respray, all new upholstery, wood trim and soft top, small areas of rust on the left-hand front wheel arch and the right-hand lower windscreen surround cut out and repaired, as well as the engine being stripped and rebuilt with new components and machining. This MKII Triumph Stag is a wonderfully presented example of the charming classic British open-top sports car, offered from long-term ownership and benefitting from a previous high-quality comprehensive restoration. Presented with an appealing Tahiti Blue finish over handsome tan leather and vinyl upholstery, and boasting a couple of discerning performance and usability upgrades, it would make a superb addition to assembly of British classics, and an enjoyable companion for weekend drives, fair-weather cruising, and visits to classic car shows alike.
