The Triumph Stag in my opinion is one of the greatest old time sports cars. It started its life as a styling experiment car, cut and shaped from the early Triumph 2000 saloon, which had also been styled by the same gentleman Michelotti, The original triumph 2000 was loaned to Michelotti by Director of Engineering at Triumph from the early to late 1960s. The agreement was that if Triumph liked the design, They could then use the prototype as the basis of a new Triumph model. The end result, a two door drop head (convertible) was styled from the 2000 but still had little in common with the styling of the 2000, but retained the suspension and drive line. Triumph liked the Michelotti design so much that they used the styling lines of the Stag on the new Triumph 2000/2500 saloon and estate model lines of the 1970s car.The Triumph Stag was fitted with the Triumphv V8 engine, consisting of a single overhead cam cast iron block with aluminium heads.Harry Webster had also already started development and testing of a new unique, all Triumph designed overhead cam 2.5 litre fuel injected To buy a Triumph Stag or any other car go to classic cars for sale If you are considering buying any type of Cars for sale uk then the best deals can be found here
