This Triumph Stag was built in 1971 but seems to have been re-registered in March 1993, perhaps because it had fallen off the DVLA's database. Six registered keepers are recorded on the V5C and the odometer shows 113,951 miles. Its last MoT expired in April 2024 after being tested the previous year at an indicated 113,951 miles. However, as an historic vehicle, the Stag is now MoT-exempt. The vendor tells us that the car has a water leak, which is suspected to be the heater matrix or radiator, so this will need to be resolved. Having not been used for six months, its battery is also no longer holding charge, and the vendor feels that it would benefit from a service as well. The head gasket has been replaced and there's also a heavy duty timing chain, electronic ignition, immobiliser, overdrive gearbox and the right-hand floorpan replaced plus other welding. A new clutch and brake master cylinder has also been fitted. The vendor has owned the car since 2022; prior to that it was stored for eight years.

Paperwork with the Stag includes the current and past V5Cs, print-out on online MoT data back to 2006, a large amount of assorted invoices including one for a replacement engine in October 2010 and a replacement overdrive gearbox in October 2011, MoT certificates back to 1997, and a photocopy of the old Passport to Service book stamped up to 48,745 miles in in the 1980s. There's also a Heritage Certificate showing that the car was once New White and photos of a full respray from 2004.
