Triumph is a brand that not many in the United States have heard of, at least associated with cars. That’s because Triumph made not only four-wheelers, but two-wheelers as well. Yes, Triumph started off with bicycles and ventured into motorcycles. However, in the four-wheeled space, Triumph is best known for their classic British roadsters. Sadly, Triumph went defunct in 1984. The Stag was one of their signature models, produced between 1970 and 1977. Sporting Italian styling, over 25,000 were made across this seven-year production run, and the Stag was targeting the luxury sports car segment. Today’s 1972 Triumph Stag is a little different because it’s got an engine swap that give it more power than stock. Up for sale in Libertyville, Illinois, this could be your way to experience the British roadster life.
Exterior and Interior
Magenta is the color which this 1972 Triumph Stag chooses to represent itself in, and let us tell you, it’s a rather alluring shade. Shades of pink may have feminine connotations, but the particular hue that this car wears can be driven by anyone. The car’s quad headlamps, chrome bumpers and wire-style wheels all cut a fine dash, as does its overall shape, which is the work of Giovanni Michelotti, a renowned Italian automotive designer who also penned machines for Ferrari and Maserati. This car is a convertible as well, which makes it a lovely thing to drive on a fine day. The interior of this 1972 Triumph Stag features a black theme, and can accommodate up to four adults on leather-upholstered seats. Showcasing the model’s luxury connotations is a wood-grained dashboard, full instrumentation, front bucket seats and power windows. You’ve also got a Kenwood radio cassette player, and a heater.
Engine
Powering this 1972 Triumph Stag is a rather unusual powerplant. In stock form, it will have had a 3.0-liter V8. However, there are a few bugbears with this engine that can become issues if not addressed swiftly. That’s why you’ll be grateful for the 3.8-liter Buick V6 that now propels this car. As well as being a more reliable and easy to work on motor, it’s likely got more power too. Power that goes smartly to the rear wheels via a 3-speed automatic transmission. Yes, unlike an original powertrain-equipped car, you don’t need to learn stick to drive this car.

Finished in French Blue over a black interior with a black convertible soft top, this Stag also features American Racing wheels and woodgrain interior trim, giving it a tasteful blend of classic British character and updated drivability.
