Triumph Stag.
What to Check Before Buying.
The Triumph Stag is a classic British GT with a distinctive T-bar roof and V8 engine, produced from 1970 to 1977. Known for its handsome looks and sporting character, it has a mixed reputation for reliability, mainly due to cooling system weaknesses and chassis corrosion. Buyers should approach any Stag with eyes wide open, checking engine temperature behaviour, previous mechanical work, and structural integrity. Most survivors today have had significant restoration or upgrades to address the factory shortcomings.
