Triumph Stag 1972 (British Muscle)

Hello All,

Thought i would show some classic british "muscle", what it lacks in the BHP, it makes up for style and class (and a great v8 sound track)

Car owned from new, from father passed down to son, just went through a 12 month restoration job. And about to take part in a Rally next month, the son and father and the car!!

Hope you like them.

Thanks for sharing! Awesome car and obviously a ton of sentimental value.

IIRC the original Triumph V8s were terribly unreliable so a lot of people swapped them for Rover ones. I think they even did that to the Bond car just to be safe during filming
