Ant and Philip find an iconic Land Rover that's sat undriven and unloved in a barn for 41 years. Ant tackles the task of stripping the car back to a bare metal chassis and reconditioning it from the ground up.
Once known for its punchy V8 motor and continental good looks, the Triumph Stag soon gained a reputation for overheating and breaking down. Even though production ended after 7 years, Philip and Ant are working to revive the Triumph Stag.
