Triumph Stag
The Triumph Stag, to be bold with a statement straight off the bat, is a car which should’ve never existed. But what do I mean by that?
Well, Triumph had sort of made peace with the convertible tourer market or so it seemed, because their last convertible tourer pre Stag was the late 40s Roadster 2000.
However, design genius Michelotti had other ideas. Now if you’re a Triumph fan, you’ll recognise that name, because Michelotti had worked on cars like the Herald; so Triumph knew he was a stylish, safe pair of hands.
So when he asked for Triumph 2000 to turn into a special for the 1965 Turin Motor Show, he was green lighted and given a works service support vehicle which had been used at the 65 Le Mans 24 hour race.
A deal was struck: if Michelotti produced a car which was to the liking of the Engineering team, in particular Harry Webster who was Director; Triumph could take the design and run with it as a new model.
The car then goes into production in 1970 - moving from the proposed 2 litre engine in the 2000s to a meatier 2.5 PI V8 3 litre engine.
You might ask why, considering Triumph and Rover were now under the same BL umbrella the company didn’t use the Buick V8 which was something they already had access to and understood; but here’s the thing, despite being under the same umbrella, the brands rarely collaborated without friction and they competed in the same markets.
There were arguments of course that the engine didn’t fit and there would’ve been too many last minute changes for it to be a logical choice, but again, it’s a great example of how British Leyland didn’t use the wealth of intelligence under one roof in a thoughtful way.
And yes, I know Triumph had invested lots of money in their V8 development, but at what point do you have a little give in the plans?
The car at launch, was a big hit in the UK and there was an extensive waiting list going back months. The American buying audience were keen too - but here’s the thing - the reliability held the car back from being the big hitter it needed to be.
Which is a shame, because the American market had been very much considered; especially with things like the fuel injection changing to dual zenith-stromberg carbs to meet emissions. In fact, I think it was less than 5,000 cars which made it to the US, which makes it quite the flop on the American market.
We talk about build quality variance later on being a problem, but another was the overheating problem. There were quirks to the engine which meant the way users had perhaps learnt to live with commonly known British engines used in the BL range were completely different to these new engines.
Even down to things like the block being iron and the head being aluminium; which meant corrosion inhibiting antifreeze was needed all year round and the coolant needing checking after the engine running hot; whilst these are essentially weaknesses, a bit of forecourt education might’ve lessened some of the first hurdle falls and lessened the fall out.
But all in all, a majestic car was created.
The 3 litre engine gave 146bhp, a breathtaking top speed of 120 miles per hour could allegedly be achieved and finally, a 70s non luxury car with a decent braking system! It was fitted with discs to front, drums to rear and a divided braking system with a tandem master cylinder.
The steering is as you’d expect, rack and pinion and it’s 2 and a half turns lock to lock. You’ll see how spot on the steering is later on!
Finally, for those who have never seen a Stag in the wild…or at a car show…it is roughly 14ft5inches long and 5ft3 inches wide which in new money is 4.4 metres by 1.61 metres
Now, it would be lazy to sit here and run the car down, because what was once a complicated mixed bag of good and bad, has come good because…
In today’s world, the Stag is probably one of the most loved Triumphs and the retention rates are good. Of the circa 25,800 made, just under 9,000 remain in existence; which isn’t bad good really!
And finally,
Many thanks to my dear friend and journalist Sam Skelton for all the help on this car today.

Oh same!

[@davidhinkson8856]

Always loved the Stag; to me, it's one of the most beautiful cars Triumph ever made, and yes, a lot more driving time on a long open road is what you would need to make the most of it.

[@annahopp]

I love every video you make and I absolutely love the Triumph Staaag. Maybe because it has a few flaws. The Stag, not you! You are just perfect 🙂. Your tasteful outfit complements the car color perfectly. And you present all the facts and driving emotions so well. Very enjoyable to watch. If I win the lottery, I will buy you a Stag. Pinky promise!

It is a gorgeous looking car. I would have one in a heartbeat...

[@EuropaSman]

A geeky fact about the Stag in the video is that the oil pressure gauge is an aftermarket fitment. Even though the gauge was made by Smiths, it doesn't quite match. It took the place of the Smiths clock that would have originally been in that position.

[@nigelbarton8350]

True- although if you want to be really geeky most of the clocks (as in tell the time clocks) we’re not Smiths but Kienzil- which I have probably spelt wrongly as I’m too lazy to out to my Stag in the garage to check 😉

Criminal underdevelopment on what could/should well have been one of the worlds great cars.

[@argonaut6386]

It really suits you Steph 😍 My uncle had a Mk1 Triumph 2000 when I was a kid in the 70's and that over heated regularly too.

[@idriveaclassic]

Is it arrogant to say ‘I know, so why don’t I have one?!’

[@argonaut6386]

​@@idriveaclassic Not at all, perfect match. I think you should go for one Flower 😉

[@jaygee5693]

I had a 2000 Mk1 in the 70s too. I was young then, and a bit of a boy racer, so it was often driven hard, and the temperature never rose above medium. A few years before that, a friend in high school used to borrow his mother's 2000 a lot, and with a car full of classmates he would bait other motorists into racing on country roads. He REALLY thrashed it, but the motor never overheated. Incidentally, he was seldom beaten, even by much more powerful cars. (probably due more to his recklessness and willingness to over-rev his mum's car, than to the ability of the Triumph). This was in NZ, where summer temperatures rarely exceed 40 C, so I wonder if overheating maybe occurs in hotter climates?

[@argonaut6386]

@@jaygee5693 That's interesting 🤔, This was an auto and UK so I think the temp is just as cool if not cooler.

[@jaywalker1233]

When I was a boy, dad had a Mk2 2.5 PI auto (gorgeous dark blue with light grey trim) - a very handsome car, which I loved, and shared many of the Michelotti design features (front and rear, wood dash instrument layout). The engine sounded good too. But the Stag took it to another level…

[@anthonystevens8683]

Nice one Steph, a great quick review of a true classic that really should have sold brilliantly. The style was nigh on perfect as where 'most' of the mechanicals that were carried over from the 2000 I guess. I'll not go into the troubles with the engine cooling or build quality as the web is a wash with that. That sound is epic though. If I recall correctly (probably not) but the decision to go for a V8 was for the US. Personally I would love one but I don't have the space to store it safely or afford to run it. This car really does suite you though, this was even before the throttle blip. This must now be one of your dream cars. Many thanks for sharing and a happy new year to you.

[@stuartrigler1869]

That leather pull tab was homemade by someone. The oil pressure gauge obviously doesn’t match. There was originally a clock in that position. A late TR6 oil gauge would have been an exact match. My first 1973 Stag was on its third engine before 20,000 miles, and that was in 1982.

Jesus ! Hearing you exclaim that when you accelerated really made me laugh. Excellent review of an underrated car. Typical '70's BL sadly, snatch defeat from the jaws of success. Thank you

[@kevinlloyd1088]

Thanks for a good review. It was like my test drive of a Stag here in the States. The low fuel light was on for me also. I did not buy it, but the salesman said come back when i win the lottery! The safety in the braking system was in thanks to the USA. We dropped out of the soft top market when we thought the feature was going to be taken away by the government. It never happened. Hopefully, this Triumph will find a good home.

[@ludovicleroux9190]

Stunning vedeo, as usual.

[@idriveaclassic]

Thank you

[@sonofatwitch82]

nice video keep em coming💓❣

[@rx6180]

I can assure you Steph that the cute little leather tab on the glove box is what somebody has added themselves, because the glove box is so ineptly designed that you push on a button to release it, with nothing to pull on, so you’re pressing the door up when you want it to drop down. Stupid. Apart from the glove box on the 1977 2500S I owned for two years kept dropping open over bumps in the road when I first got it. I used to love 2000 and 2500 saloons as my uncle owned five or six in the 70s, Mk1 and Mk2, PI, automatics and overdrive models. I got a manual overdrive 2500S in the 2000s which turned out to be cosmetically restored but a bit of a rot box underneath. It probably had the best engine of any classic I owned once I’d had a few faults and oil leaks fixed, though the diff had some backlash and you could feel driveline shunt at low speeds. The build quality was pure BL though. And that’s pretty much what killed the Stag’s chances in America. A Mercedes-Benz SL it was not.

[@rcaive0875]

Almost 5000 cars made it stateside. That's a lot more than I thought, if I'm honest.

[@frglee]

As a used car dealer for a time in the 80s, my dad would sometimes take cars off the forecourt and run them himself for a while, especially if they weren't selling. I think the Stag made him feel like the business especially for the golf club run. Which is probably where he sold it as he didn't have it for very long. But a fond memory is seeing him in it beaming away. Probably his favourite car ever.

Great review and still one of my dream cars to have in my imaginary 10 car garage. A local garage in Lampton (Hounslow), maybe Peak Performance Cars, used to always have a great selection of them which made me drool as I filled my Toledo.

Hi Steph, That was a great review, almost stop-on. I have owned my Stag a 1976 Mk2 (named The Red Devil) because it has a triple 666 number plate). I have owned this fantastic car for 43 years now and I can tell you everything has been sorted, for the engine, body panel etc the club is fantastic with lots of history and support, you can't go wrong, get one, (You only live once).

Ours share a similar story, dad bought it in '76. Dad has gone now and the car is with me. It's just a bit stuck in my garage at the moment. The new auto box inhibit switch is either out of adjustment or failed. Won't start and the passenger door is up against the garage wall.

Thanks for another wonderful balanced review Steph, of a car I have never especially rated. However, that engine roar is glorious and wonderful, what an elegant and refined car!

I loved my Triumph Vitesse and, later on my Chicane (2500TC), also, my grandfather owned a Gloria - all of which makes me a bit of a Triumph fan. Two extra points of interest: 1. the Stag (as I recall) pioneered the innovative and practical T-top roof; 2. the V8 was actually two Triumph Dolomite/SAAB 99 slant-fours mated to a common crankcase. Thanks and best regards, Colin.

Had a Stag (SNAG) back in the day, “SFL 536N” Emerald Green, Hard & Soft Top with Steel Wheels for winter & Alloys for Summer. Usual overheating issues & spent many an hour in the garage being repaired. Even bought a engine block from S.N.G Barratt (now Jag specialist) who gave me a great warranty with a grin on his face…..”10,000 miles or the end of he drive, which ever comes 1st Sir” ? But I still loved & it was a great head turner for a young show off….. I chopped it in for a drop head Merc 350SL that looked mint, but in reality wasn’t a patch on the Stag, a mistake on my part looking back. Great Days & a timeless classic7 Great review Cheers
