Overview of 1972 Triumph Stag For Sale by Owner

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.

Ah, Triumph. One of those sadly defunct British sports car makers responsible for giving us some truly awesome pint-sized roadsters to drive enthusiastically. The British really got the whole less is more thing down to an art form during much of the 20th century. They perfected the recipe of small dimensions, modestly-sized but revvy engines and chuckable driving dynamics to a great extent. The Triumph GT6 was something a little more than your typical British sports car. For starters it was a proper, fixed-head coupe and it came with a straight six under the hood. That’s what we have for sale today, a 1973 Triumph GT6 from Clearwater, Florida. It’s got just over 33,000 miles, a 2.0-liter straight six, a manual gearbox and all the charm you’d expect from a classic British car. Why not make it your own, then?
