The Triumph Stag sports tourer was a British car made by the Triumph
Motor Company between 1970 and 1977. Classed as a four seater
convertible coupé, it had been designed by Italian designer Giovanni
Michelotti. Fitted with a 3.0L V8 engine, it was highly desirable and
proved to be one of the IT cars of the era! An option for purchasers
was a removable canvas top which later became standard.
To launch their newly tooled 1:76 scale model, they have chosen an
authentic Stag colour scheme of saffron yellow with black interior.
The characteristic Triumph radiator features the silver leaping stag in
the centre of the chrome and black grille. The stag badge is also
embedded into the rear bumper. Our car is registered RVC 435H from
1970, the first year of production.
The Triumph Stag has been the ‘star’ of several TV programmes and
films. James Bond fans may recall in Diamonds are Forever, Sean Connery
commandeering a Stag from a diamond smuggler!
