Triumph Stag Parts

The Triumph Stag is a grand tourer sports car that was produced by the Triumph Motor Company from 1970 to 1978. It was designed to be a luxury sports car with four seats, a convertible top, and a distinctive T-bar roof roll bar. The Stag was intended to compete with cars like the Mercedes-Benz SL and the BMW 3.0 CS.

One of the notable features of the Stag was its V8 engine. Initially, the Stag was powered by a 3.0-liter V8 engine, which was mated to a manual or automatic transmission. The engine was known for its smoothness and refined performance.The Triumph Stag’s most distinctive design element was the T-bar roll hoop, which incorporated a removable hardtop over the front seats and a foldable convertible soft top at the rear. This design aimed to provide the benefits of both a convertible and a coupe.

Despite its stylish design and innovative features, the Stag faced challenges related to reliability, particularly with its cooling system. The original design of the V8 engine led to overheating problems, which affected the car’s reputation.

Production of the Triumph Stag ceased in 1978. The challenges with reliability, combined with financial difficulties at British Leyland (Triumph’s parent company), contributed to the discontinuation of the model.
