The Triumph Stag V8 was designed by the Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti, and was designed to be the gentleman’s sports tourer. The V8 model was sold between 1970 and 1978 by the British Triumph Motor Company.

All Stags were designed as four-seater convertible coupés.The construction of the Stag was based on the Triumph 2000 saloon. A 2+2 convertible, Michelotti’s design featured a four-lamp grille and sculpted front and rear ends, the new look set to appear on many Triumphs. The 3-litre V8 was based on an overhead camshaft four-cylinder engine – later to power the Dolomite range. A ‘T’ shaped roll-over bar braced the door pillars and windscreen – one of the Stag’s most distinctive features – the model being available in soft top, hard top or with both soft and hard tops. With a 118mph top speed and rest to 60mph in 9.3 seconds, the Stag was fast, stylish and practical.
The stag is now considered a very collectable classic British sports car. The model is well supported by various, established owners & enthusiasts clubs. In general most of the problems the Stag suffered from in it’s hey-day have now been alleviated too, especially engine problems with the Triumph built 3.0 litre OHC V8 which are usually solved by swapping to a Rover V8, a Ford Capri 2.8 V6 or a Triumph straight-6. Although it is worth noting that these converted cars are usually valued less than cars with the original Stag V8.
Jeremy Clarkson said “Almost certainly the best car British Leyland ever made” which is a bit of a backhanded compliment!
