Triumph Stag Classic Cars

Drive a Classic Triumph Stag to Indulge Your Nostalgia

Triumph Stag is a classic four-seater convertible luxury car that was produced to compete with the top sports cars in the world. If you're looking to buy a used Triumph Stag for sale, eBay can offer reasonably priced vehicles.

Variations in design

There were approximately 25,939 cars manufactured between 1970 and 1977. Car clubs and experts unofficially categorise Triumph Stags for sale as MK1 and MK2 variants. Based on the production number, you may also hear about Early MK1, MK1, MK2, and Late MK2, or even MK3 variants.

You can easily distinguish between original MK1 and MK2 models by looking at the sills and tail panel. Most MK1 models used body colour compared to the low-gloss black tail panel. The addition of two coach lines is also an indication of MK2 models produced after 1972. Other differences in MK2 include laminated windscreen, revised alternator, smaller steering wheel, and higher compression ratio. Similarly, a stainless-steel cover on the tail panel, shorter prop shaft, and a high-pressure cooling system are indicative of late MK2 models.

Why does a classic Triumph Stag have a modified engine?

If you wish to buy triumph stag in the UK, there are plenty of cars that do not run on the original engine. These modified Triumph Stag for sale may not lose their value because the majority of owners upgraded their engines to suit their individual needs. Such replacements make practical sense because the engine is easily modified, and it's much easier to find replacement parts of engines in active production.

You may find Triumph Stag cars for sale on eBay that have a Rover 8 engine or Triumph 2.5-litre engine. In fact, a 3-litre Ford engine is also very common as these engines are seamlessly integrated into the original design.

What optional upgrades are common in Triumph Stags for sale?

Used Triumph Stag prices also depend on the extras installed in the car. Owners were given the choice of a soft top, hard top, or both depending on their needs. Similarly, three different wheel styles were offered that complemented Koni shock absorbers. Other common upgrades are Delaney Galley air conditioning, Lucas Square Eight fog lamps, luggage racks, and floor mats. It should be noted that dealers also offered a range of factory-fitted accessories, and it was also very common to customise the cars with third-party aftermarket products.
