    What is this car?

    There was a 1st annual car show at a nearby church today. A good gathering considering it was the first show. I was on the second level of the parking area when a car pulled into the parking lot. I couldn't tell what make it is, especially from 25 feet up. I was able to take a few photos of it...

    That looks like a Triumph Stag.
    They have 3.0l V8s, 150bhp, and weigh about a ton and a half.

    I think this is Triumph Stag whose popularity is due to its performance, comparative rarity and its Michelotti styling.The problems associated with the car over the years have been solved by those enthusiast clubs supporting the Stag, elevating this classic to its intended place in popularity envisioned by its designers.

    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Hi,

    Does anyone know what this car is? I saw it in a French film shot in the volcanic mountain region of Cevennes in Southern France, circa '77.

    Thanks!

    Thanks! I dread to think how long it would've taken me to find out from random searching on the internet!
