Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1970 Triumph Stag, owned by just two people since 1983, presents a unique opportunity. It features a rebuilt engine with reputedly only 7,900 miles, manual overdrive, power steering, and a striking two-tone beige/brown finish with a tobacco vinyl interior, embodying Seventies style. While it comes with 15 old MOTs implying around 6,500 miles covered over 30 years, the electric windows are non-functional.

Condition
6
The car is described as generally sound and tidy with a few minor blemishes. It has some non-working features (electric windows), but the soft top is in good condition. The mileage is low for its age, but there's limited history to verify it fully. Overall, it seems to be in good shape for its age, but not without some flaws.

1970 Triumph Stag Just two owners since 1983; reputedly only 7,900 miles on rebuilt engine; manual overdrive; power steering; Kenlowe fan; tow bar; new set of tyres; very Seventies! Finished in two-tone beige/brown and riding on Wolfrace slot mag alloys with a tobacco vinyl interior, this Stag just oozes Seventies style! Equipped with manual overdrive transmission, power steering and a factory hardtop, it comes with no real history apart from 15 old MOTs from 1987 – 2018 which imply that it only covered around 6,500 miles during this 30-year period.
Our vendor acquired the car in 2017 from an ex-British Leyland employee, Mr P Gardner of Birmingham, who had owned the Stag for 35 years during which time it was registered as 5302 PG.
When he bought the car, the vendor was told that the 7,300 miles on the clock was the distance covered since the engine was rebuilt although there are no bills to substantiate this.
He has only added another 600 miles over the last five years.
