1974 Triumph Stag, Rover 3.5 V8

Post by Lewis »

Picked this up a few days ago to tinker with and drive for a while whilst I try and sort a few things out (yes, I am that mad. This constitutes an sensible daily driver for me :lol:).

It's a 1974 Triumph Stag with a quite professionally done (believed to be a really early conversion) 3.5 V8 on twin SUs, Piranha ignition, stainless manifolds & exhaust, twin Kenlowes and so on.

It's in really nice condition is a good laugh with the top down - about two shades of pink away from being a bit :t though :lol:

Extremely comfortable and you certainly get the 'luxury' feel when you're driving it - first car I've had with electric windows and power steering! :o

Thanks to Nick for the photos - will get some of my own at some point :lol:

Twin big bore exhausts though, that's a lot to hit! :lol:

Not a bad little car actually. Isnt the power steering VERY over assisted! I find ours scary to drive!

The car looks not too bad in that colour, but for God,s sake put your jeans and T shirt back on man!!!
