That's the prototype Stag fastback, only one built as far as I am aware.
Triumph experimanted with the fastback roofline on a number of prototypes - I
am aware of Herald and 2000/2.5 fastbacks being built as well as the Stag
pictured at Gaydon. The Stag is the only one I've ever seen on the show
circuit, but up until 2 years ago at least the Herald and 2000 survived in some
form,
Cheers,
Bill.
