A genuine barn-find opportunity, this Triumph Stag is offered at no reserve, and represents an ideal chance to bring this classic British sports car back to its former glory in the buyer’s vision. Fitted with Triumph’s 3.0-litre V8 and automatic transmission, this Stag comes with factory hard-top and gold pin-striping along the length of the burgundy bodywork. Ordinarily, we would highlight the interior’s colour and features… except there isn’t one in this instance.

The vendor describes ‘RON 786R’ as having almost everything required to being the Stag back to life - including the genuine engine; the only missing parts are those interior elements. Because of the nature of the this barn find, there is no V5 or paperwork available for ‘RON 786R’, since it’s been sitting stored for ‘at least 20 years’. The odometer shows an indicated 68,000 miles, though clearly there’s no opportunity to verify this. The engine and transmission are described by the seller as in ‘average’ condition, though the electrics, bodywork, paint, and interior are rated ‘poor’ - a real opportunity to put your mark on this Stag.

Triumph’s 2+2 sportscar for much of the Seventies, the Stag was a convertible but came about at a time when US regulations required stringent crash safety requirements. As such, a Targa-style roll-over hoop and bar connecting to the windscreen helped create a famous look for the V8-powered roadster. Designed by Giovanni Michelotti, initial plans were to offer a 2.0-litre straight four, but then a 2.5-litre V8 was preferred, before the powers that be decided to enlarge capacity to 3.0-litres. The Mark I lasted from 1970 until 1973, before a number of slight tweaks created a Mark II model. This lasted until the Stag ceased production in 1977.
