Description
Smart MkII automatic example that's been the subject of
useful recent work including new hood re-chromed bumpers
Supplied new by Dutton Forshaw Ltd of Bristol in June 1976 this
rather smart, later model MkII Triumph Stag looks wonderfully period in its
cheery colour scheme with new tailor made black Mohair hood and black alloy
wheels with polished lip.
Under the bonnet, we
find the famous 3.0 litre Triumph V8 OHV engine which reputedly produced 145bhp
and 230NM of torque when new, driving the rear wheels in this example via Borg
Warner Type-35 three-speed automatic transmission.
Inside the cabin, we find black leather/vinyl interior with a
lovely dark walnut trim to the dash, electric windows, heated rear window and
retro-fit Pioneer radio/CD player. The cabin feels fresh and comfortable,
presenting well.
The history file includes the
V5C recording 11 former keepers to our vendor who has enjoyed the car for the
last three years, improving the car during this time – it presents well both
atop and underneath including having the bespoke hood fitted, the wheels
refurbished, new front bushes, the bumpers re-chromed, new seat foams fitted and
new front lights.
In addition, we find the
Triumph Stag engine service notes book, the original Passport to Service
recording two stamps by the supplying dealer in June 1976 (PDI) and in July 1977
at 23,307 miles. A note in the
‘Vehicle Diary’ section suggests the car was treated to new timing chains at
63,000 miles and typical head gasket work (including being de-coked) at 67,559
miles (undated).
Furthermore, the file also
includes seven old MOTs plus a selection of more historic bills dating back to
the early 90s.
Ready to enjoy with that
wonderful Stag V8 burble this is a smart and usable example on offer at a
sensible guide.
