Description:

1971 Triumph Stag Automatic.
The previous owner spent quite a bit of time and money with replacing the original engine to the sought after Rover 4.0 swap. He mentioned using Monarch Stag conversion. ?
This car starts right up, and has a very steady idle, and maintains a steady rpm while stopping. The hood on the car does not have a scoop, it retains the original look.
The car is a running, driving, currently registered car that can be enjoyed now. The title is a California title, without any issues.
This is not a show car, but does look nice, and it now has a new paint job.
This is what the previous owner had done before he gave me his car.
Rover 4.0 Engine with an
Automatic
Transmission. ( Monarch Stag conversion with Holley carburetor.) 190 HP with the Rover 4.0 ( Very quick car.)
Uprated
aluminum
radiator, with thermostat and front fan. ( Make a huge difference to keep the engine running cool, and costs about $500 with labor to install.)
Replaced exhaust system with
stainless
exhaust. see photos.
4 new tires. ( Yokohama radials) See photo.
Cd player with rear speakers. ( Sounds nice, but looks dirty.)
Wire wheels are nice looking, but there are rusted spokes, so I would eventually replace these with new wheels.)
Here is what I have done since I received this car.
New Fuel Pump.
Rebuilt Alternator.
New engine mounts.
Replaced the old visors with new visors from Rimmer Brothers ( matches the original. )
2 new side mirrors ( Proper chrome , matching mirrors.)
New Battery.
Fluid change/ tune up.
Repaired the turn signals.
New paint and body work.
Both front seats were completely reupholstered. They look great, and they look stock, with proper head rests.
This car is currently insured, registered, licensed, and was last driven on May 2nd, 2015 Drives smooth and straight.
The main photos were taken on April 28th, 2015. ( Not old photos.)
I would either replace the bumpers, or have them re chromed. There are a couple of dents, and when up close you can see scratches and marks. ( I have a couple of replacement parts for the rear bumper that are nice that I will leave in the trunk.) There are rusted areas underneath the car. If I were to keep this car, I would eventually have this repaired.
Some of the dash gauges should be replaced. The signals
work.
The RPM
works
. The Oil Pressure
works
. The Electric
works
. The Speed and the Fuel do not work. The cluster does not work.
Like all old cars, there is always something to be done to the car to improve it. However, this car can be immediately driven, and enjoyed. You can drive it as is, or choose to improve what you want, when you want.
The engine and transmission swap was done, so you don't have to figure it out, and experiment. The heavy lifting was done, and done well. Most of the converted Stags were done with the Rover engine.
This car is being sold as is.
This car is a running, legal, driving car. I drive it on the weekends.

Used
“This is built to be a driver. A reliable Rover engine with an automatic transmission. The previous owner spent a lot of time and money working on this car. It's a smooth straight driving car, but there are things that I would have replaced or repaired if I were to have kept this car. ( I don't have the room.) Some of the gauges need to be replaced. The Oil pressure and the temp gauges work. The RPM works. The Fuel and Speed and cluster do not work. There are some rust areas under the body that will need to be repaired at some point. There was rust near the front bumper areas that were fixed. ( Cut and welded metal repair.) The car has had a recent paint job. The chrome bumpers should be replaced or re chromed. I also have a couple extra bumper are chrome pieces missing. ( See photos) There is no hard top. There is the original cloth convertible top, but that will need to be repaired, and new cloth top added. The wipers are there but need to be repaired.”
