The Appeal

Autumn is just around the corner, so it's time to look for a project to while away those cold winter evenings. This Triumph Stag would be an excellent choice. Early examples such as this 1971 car are particularly appealing to collectors. It's super original, retaining the original 3.0-litre Triumph V8 engine and factory hard top.

This Stag has been in the current owner's hands since 1984, having been purchased directly from the original keeper. The engine is running, though the car will need recommissioning after a long period in storage. For the enthusiast looking for a Stag project with long-term, stable ownership and dry storage on its side, this is one well worth considering.
