Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1978 Triumph Stag Auto, sold for £11,600 against a £5k-£6k estimate, has had a full restoration over 10 years ago and has been dry stored since. While the body, chassis, floors, and V8 engine are in excellent condition, the automatic gearbox requires attention and the interior needs minor cosmetic fixes. It's presented as an easy project for enthusiasts of this desirable British classic.
Condition
5
The car was fully restored over 10 years ago and has been dry stored since. The bodywork, chassis, floors, and V8 engine are in great condition and require little attention. However, the automatic gearbox is clunky and requires attention, and the interior needs minor cosmetic work, including replacing the gear selector surround and the O/S window winder. The MOT has also expired.
