Triumph Stag

Triumph Stag was like other British cars of the ’70s in that it’s sleek design didn’t save bad engineering. It was fine to drive when it worked, but it could be absolutely dangerous. The 3.0-liter V8 engine in the Stag was another engine that would explode from overheating. To fix this, a cooling system was installed that would boil over itself if the temperature got too hot. It’s no wonder the parent company, British Leyland, was partially nationalized to prevent its collapse.
