Very tidy engine bay and underneath •Equipped with the desirable manual / overdrive transmission combination, offering a more engaging driving experience •Patently benefiting from careful ownership and ongoing maintenance, the Stag presents well throughout and appears to have been enjoyed as intended whilst retaining its original character •The current MOT is valid until June 2026 and no advisories •A well regarded British classic offering open-top touring, V8 performance and distinctive 1970s styling in one usable and increasingly collectible package Very attractively presented example of Triumph’s innovative grand tourer fitted with a manual gearbox and overdrive.

There is a small oil leak from the automatic transmission •With six former registered keepers, last MOT valid until May 2023 and now exempt as an historic vehicle, the car is accompanied by a history file including invoices, MOT Certificates and a vehicle data sheet. It is likely to require recommissioning so trailering from the sale is recommended Developed in conjunction with the Transport and Road Research Laboratory, this unusual Ford Cortina 2000E offers a rare insight into 1970s vehicle safety research.
