Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Original Triumph Stag V8 convertible from May 1972, sourced from the first owner in California (USA)
• Powered by the characteristic 3.0-liter Triumph V8 engine (ca. 145 hp) paired with an automatic transmission
• Equipped with both the original removable hardtop and the fabric convertible top (soft top)
• Fitted with factory options such as air conditioning, power steering, electric windows and radio
• European import duties and levies have already been fully paid, delivered with American title and registration papers
HISTORY/OVERVIEW:
The Triumph Stag was introduced in 1970 as a stylish, luxury four-seater convertible positioned above the sportier TR6. The bodywork was designed by the famous Italian car designer Giovanni Michelotti and is characterized by its elegant lines and the distinctive T-shaped roll bar that combined rigidity and safety with an open driving experience. Under the hood Triumph installed a specially developed 3.0-liter V8 engine. This particular example dates from May 1972 and hails from the first owner in the dry climate of California (United States), with a stated odometer reading of 78,000 miles. The car has always been stored indoors and all European import duties have already been paid.
EXTERIOR:
The white bodywork is in a neat, well-preserved and rust-free condition thanks to the dry Californian climate and the fact that the car has always been stored indoors. Given the age of over 50 years there are light signs of use and aging. The car has both the original removable hardtop and the cabriolet roof (soft top), so it can be driven open or closed.
INTERIOR:
The four-seater interior has an authentic, classic look. The car is equipped with electric windows, power steering, air conditioning and a radio. The interior is in neat condition without major damage. The dashboard is crack-free and the upholstery is very neat.
MOTOR AND TECHNICAL:
The Triumph is powered by the 3.0-liter V8 gasoline engine with a power of around 145 hp, coupled to an automatic transmission. The engine starts, runs and drives. Because the car has stood still for some time, it is advised to clean the carburetors and perform a service before the vehicle participates in traffic regularly.
DOCUMENTS:
The vehicle is supplied with the original American title and accompanying registration papers. All import duties for the European Union have been paid, allowing registration in an EU country after completing local registration procedures.
It is advised to view the vehicle first before making an offer to avoid disappointment. To make an appointment you can contact Catawiki.
The car can be viewed by appointment in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands (about 20 minutes from Schiphol Airport). Bids exclude transport and export, unless otherwise stated. Arranging transport, transfer of ownership and any local registration or homologation costs is at the purchaser's expense.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
