1976 Triumph Stag

Description

Smart MkII automatic example that's been the subject of useful recent work including new hood re-chromed bumpers

Supplied new by Dutton Forshaw Ltd of Bristol in June 1976 this rather smart, later model MkII Triumph Stag looks wonderfully period in its cheery colour scheme with new tailor made black Mohair hood and black alloy wheels with polished lip.

Under the bonnet, we find the famous 3.0 litre Triumph V8 OHV engine which reputedly produced 145bhp and 230NM of torque when new, driving the rear wheels in this example via Borg Warner Type-35 three-speed automatic transmission.

Inside the cabin, we find black leather/vinyl interior with a lovely dark walnut trim to the dash, electric windows and retro-fit Pioneer radio/CD player. The cabin feels fresh and comfortable, presenting well.

The history file includes the V5C recording 11 former keepers to our vendor who has enjoyed the car for the last three years, improving the car during this time – it presents well both atop and underneath including having the bespoke hood fitted, the wheels refurbished, new front bushes, the bumpers re-chromed, new seat foams fitted and new front lights.

In addition, we find the Triumph Stag engine service notes book, the original Passport to Service recording two stamps by the supplying dealer in June 1976 (PDI) and in July 1977 at 23,307 miles.  A note in the ‘Vehicle Diary’ section suggests the car was treated to new timing chains at 63,000 miles and typical head gasket work (including being de-coked) at 67,559 miles (undated).

Furthermore, the file also includes seven old MOTs plus a selection of more historic bills dating back to the early 90s.

Ready to enjoy with that wonderful Stag V8 burble this is a smart and usable example on offer at a sensible guide.
