The Triumph
Stag was presented in the year 1970. The Stag was not the successor of
the famous TR range but an entirely new development for the important
American market. In the late 1960'ies the safety of convertible models
was questioned. For a while it seemed that convertibles and roadster
would be banned. The Triumph Stag was designed with a sturdy, T-shape,
roll over bar and the Triumph TR 7 was presented as a closed coupe for
this reason. Like the TR 4, the Spitfire and many other Triumph models,
the Stag was designed by the Italian Michelotti. De Stag was designed as
a spacious and luxurious 2+2 touring convertible with a comfortable
interior and safety seats. That was not all, Triumph even developed a
brand new 3 Litre V8 engine for the Stag! This was quite strange because
their British Leyland 'partner' Rover had the ideal V8 engine which was
used for the Rover P5B since 1967. The Triumph Stag featured independent
suspension and disc brakes all round. Power steering was a standard
item. In the USA most Stags were ordered with an automatic gearbox. Triumph V8
