This classic 1974 Triumph Stag is stylishly finished in eye-catching Rembrandt Silver, a distinctive colour that is complemented by a black interior. It has undergone a full restoration, which consisted of full shot-blasting and respray from bare metal. The vendor describes both bodywork and paintwork now being in ‘excellent’ condition, as are the interior, engine and transmission. The wood facia shows some gentle patination, as one would expect in a car which is celebrating it's half-century this year. 'CNE 126M' is an original UK car with the desirable four-speed overdrive gearbox, and comes with a “vast history” file with invoices totalling a considerable sum. It has been in its current ownership for around two decades, and is being sold with Reserve.

The Triumph Stag was created as a range-topping luxury sports car to rival the Mercedes-Benz SL. Styled by Triumph’s Italian go-to designer, Giovanni Michelotti, it was a 2+2 targa-style convertible, with a central roll-bar envisaged to meet American safety standards. The Triumph Stag was powered by an all-new 3.0-litre V8 created by the Coventry firm. This suffered from overheating issues at the time, but specialists have long since resolved any issues. Around 26,000 were built between 1970 and 1977, and many thousands survive today, thanks to the excellent support from enthusiastic owners and specialists.

In summary:

· Fully restored example in current ownership for around 20 years

· Desirable manual overdrive version

· Sold with No Reserve
