Triumph Stag: British Leyland's Most Ambitious Failure | E2E E11

The 1973 Triumph Stag is notoriously iconic, standing as a testament both to the unchecked ambition and utter failures of British Leyland, Triumph's parent company. With an incredible V8 engine that was doomed from the beginning, to the stylish removable hardtop and unforgettable design by Giovanni Michelotti, the Triumph Stag is a true rarity in the Haugland Collection, blending open-air freedom with the luxury of a grand tourer. So how does this controversial car fare against its chief competitor, the Mercedes 280SL, and other cars in the Collection? Join Alex and Amy Haugard as they uncover the allure of the Stag Mk2, from its fully restored appearance to its spirited drives along the picturesque roads of Oregon. Watch as they put it through its paces to determine its place in the Haugland Rank. All this and more in this week’s episode of Everyday to Exotic.

Special thanks to King Estate Winery for their beautiful location!
