1974 Triumph Stag (Auto): 4 Owners/44k Miles/Superb For Sale

Triumph Stag (Auto): 4 Owners/ 44k Miles/ Superb



Designed by Michelotti as a luxury sports car the Stag was enthusiastically received when launched in 1970. The Italian styling, V8 engine/ performance and Triumph brand should have guaranteed success but a rushed implementation led to the car quickly gaining a poor reputation.



Post-production solutions to this lack of development have been identified & applied and today the Stag is recognised as a stylish classic with values rising quickly over recent years



On the 6th November 1973 Dr Sidney Shaw, Senior Haematologist at Kings Cross Hospital ordered his new Mimosa Yellow Triumph Stag from Chain of Middlesex for the princely sum of £3, 038. 99. The order included a hardtop (still with the car) alloy wheels, head restraints and sundym glass. The car was supplied on 1st January 1974.



Dr Shaw kept the Stag until he stopped driving in 1993 when it passed to his son (also a doctor) who sold the car to a colleague (also a doctor) in 1995. The fourth owner has owned the Triumph since 2004 and she has only been sold due to loss of heated / dehumidified storage.



The Stag was maintained fastidiously by Dr Shaw (services cards for every service) and since 1995 specialist garages - Brighton Stag Specialist, Abinger Hammer Motors and most recently (March 2021) a £4, 300 engine overhaul at Stag Classics Medstead.



Today the Stag has covered a warranted 44k miles and is utterly original apart from a respray in the original colour a number of years ago when the paint had slightly faded. The car has never been welded/ filled, under the carpets/ chassis is outstanding with absolutely no corrosion issues – an utterly remarkable Stag!



Mechanically the Triumph is excellent, starts on the button with lovely V8 burble and copes easily with modern driving conditions. The interior is like stepping back to 1974 – everything is original.



The large history file includes the original order, invoice, Passport to Service, letter of complaint to Chains from Dr Shaw in February 1974. service records, original brochures/ handbook, invoices, V5’s etc.



On the road the car is an absolute pleasure to drive. Power steering, automatic gearbox, servo assisted brakes and the original Triumph V8 provides an addictive soundtrack – there is nothing not to like.



We believe this is the best Stag on the market today - exactly the standard of car Jamie and I drive thousands of miles to purchase and market to our customers.
