Click Here for my article on the restoration from the Triumph Stag Club magazine..
In early 2016 I found this 73 Stag on Ebay in the local area. At the price I took a punt and purchased unseen and was intending to use it for spares, however the bodywork was pretty much rust free so I decided to go with restoring it. No engine problems.. No engine, just a block in the boot. Its over 5 years later and I am done. I stuck with the original Mallard Blue paint and tan interior which I am very pleased with. So far I am 3000 miles in, its been reliable and is a blast to drive, that TV8 makes a wonderful noise, why would you fit anything else??
