Description
Selling my 1974 Triumph Stag auto Pimento Red
The car is in nice condition overall. It underwent a full restoration in 1998/ 99. The engine was fully rebuilt.
Work also included the installation of a new hood and seat covers, the replacement of the wiring loom and radiator, and the overhaul of the carburetors. In September 1999, the brakes, steering, and suspension systems were rejuvenated with new discs, pads, braided hoses, a power steering rack, track rod ends, and Spax shock absorbers. The car has since then been stored for many years, with only sparing use.
In December 2005, with the odometer reading around 101, 000 miles, the engine received a further overhaul. James Paddock Ltd supplied new pistons, big end bearings, timing chains, and sprockets, with photographic evidence documenting the process. Since this substantial mechanical refresh, the Stag has covered 6000 miles, and the odometer currently shows just over 6000.
Previous owner in 2024 fitted new power steering rack, gearbox recondition with new seals. from new radiator hoses, power steering pump seals, rack seals and gaiters, a fresh engine sump gasket, oil filter, and oil change. Additionally, the rear crankshaft seal, gearbox seals, and prop shaft UJs have been replaced, and the brake system has been upgraded with new cunifer hard lines and hoses. The differential extension has been reinforced in accordance with recommendations from the Stag Owners Club (SOC) forums, and the car is equipped with modern enhancements such as an electric fan and Lumenition ignition system.
There are many of the typical stag niggles (cracking in the paint around body panels joints) and some small spots of bubbling in the paint. The soft top roof is not in the best condition but is functional. There are some small tears in the cloth and side window plastic.
Interior is good. The gear selector is out of alignment (when in drive it points to gear 2) this does not affect the drive, and is a relatively simple fix from underneath.
The engine is very smooth and has been very reliable over my 2 years ownership.
First registered to a London doctor on New Year's Day 1974.
Please enquire, I have many photos and much more information.
A real head turner!
