The clock is ticking - this Stag needs a new home before the month is out. Still drooling after a Triumph Stag? This is your chance to bring a cracking project back to the road, but you'll need to be quick…
Why should you give this car a home? Well, besides the reasoning in last week's British Beef for Sunday Lunch, the Triumph Stag is utterly gorgeous, elegant, desirable and capable of producing a sound so beautiful grown men will weep for miles around. You will be hard pushed to find a classic roadster that offers this much excitement on this kind of budget.
Judging by the last tax disc, this particular Stag hasn’t been on the road for over twenty years now. Chances are it’s been in storage ever since, hidden away as of 1995 and crying out for a return to the open road.
The current owner is moving house in under a month, leaving the car with no storage prospects. Realising that this particular example requires the attention of a Triumph enthusiast, it’s up for re-homing or else faces the prospect of the dreaded weigh-in.
This particular project will require a full strip down, with some welding and would probably benefit from a bare metal respray. However, while this sounds like a lot to take on, it delivers the opportunity to change the colour as you see fit and work out any mechanical niggles from the get-go; leaving you with the perfect roadster once completed.
With basic running gear, supportive clubs and experts dotted up and down the country, you don’t need to be an experienced mechanic to rescue this Stag from rotting away.
It’s sold as seen, with the V5C available, and open to realistic offers - around the £1750 mark.
