    smalleyxb122: Very nice. I'm a big fan of Triumphs, both cars and bikes, and I'm enough of a non-purist to appreciate the swap. Even though the Stag was never my ... more »
    tonyola: Closer to what the Stag should have been, though I would have opted for a 215 V8 as originally intended, because of less weight on the front end. The ... more »

    Mobius: Nice vanity plate, btw. But if the owner has to fix everything himself, he'll probably want a different plate. more »

    San Diego Serenade: Triumph Stag and Buick LeSabre

    The Bonus Edition DOTS cars just keep coming in. Today we're heading down to San Diego, where Brian B captured a very Jalopnik-centric pair of vintage cars: a 1968 Buick LeSabre and a 1972 Triumph Stag. One is a vast sedan with styling that may have been aimed at old people, but at least they were hip old people (like retired mobsters, etc). The other is a sporty British V8 machine with a reputation for unreliability so awe-inspiring that you can't help but admire its owner. Good finds! Make the jump to read Brian's descriptions. More »
