Something a little different.
Name as many films, tv programmes, TV advertising or documenraries which featured the Triumph Stag.
I am not restricting andwers to British programmes but world wide TV coverage
from around the globe, I will be as interested in all answers
I'll start with my favourite : Straw Dogs with Dustin Hoffnan and Susan George from 1971 which featured a Mark One Stag.
And now over to you and the best of luck. _________________ Starting Handle Expert

Triumph Stags have been restored by the TV shows 'Bangers and Cash - Restoring Classics' and Car S.O.S.
Always a good watch, if sometimes a bit unrealistic.  |

Long-running character Gerry Standing (played by Dennis Waterman) had two Stags across several series of "New Tricks".
Is this an enquiry out of interest, or an ongoing game thread? If the former, you know there's the imcdb site that will show you a lot of them? _________________ 1976 Vauxhall HP Firenza, 1976 Vauxhall Sportshatch (x2), 1986 Audi coupe quattro, 2000 Audi TT |

That's interesting. I didn't know it was pre production. I wonder if it still exists ...and what it would fetch now?
I saw one of the very first Stags in Guildford. It was a revelation. Finished in Ermine white (code 19) and parked in a nice spot next to the River; I swore that one day I would have one.
I never did get my Stag.  |
