This Triumph Stag 3.0 V8 Automatic was supplied new in May 1978 to a doctor in Oxfordshire, coming in Java Green ‑ one of British Leyland's more flamboyant shades of the era ‑ with a black interior.
Fast forward 31 years, and the car went into storage in 2009, emerging only for a couple of MoTs in 2010 and 2011 before staying off the roads completely until this year.
From its 2009 MoT until now, the car has only covered around 700 miles, with the current recorded mileage 87,037.
