Martins Stag Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 There is a very nice magazine out in WH Smiths and it goes through all the TR's and documents them. One thought that sprung to mind is I know how the Stag got its name but was there ever any thought of calling it a TR? I suppose you could say that it is not a sports car and it is a four seater and therefore does not fit with being a TR. It was on sale at the same time as the TR6 too. Or was the Stag being pitch as above the TR's? Any thoughts Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 The Stag was not sold as a sports car, more of a grand tourer. Add to that, prior to the TR7, the TRs all changed either running gear or body from the previous model, not both. So there was a passing in of genes. Of course, 70's BL changed all that.
