Boasting a recently completed and beautifully done restoration, this Australian-delivered 1974 Triumph Stag wants for nothing. It is powered by a 3.0-litre Triumph V8 fully rebuilt by Johnny Dyno Engines in North Geelong. The transmission is a four-speed converted manual with overdrive. The current owner took on the car part way through the project, having been stripped, and the above engine rebuild completed. A chartered mechanical engineer with a lifetime of experience working on cars; he completed much of the work himself with the assistance of Peter Cooper of Cooper Triumph in Perth. The odometer indicates 33,597 km, but the true mileage is not known. Johnny Dyno Engines fully rebuilt the motor, which is equipped with Weber carburettor and chrome cam covers, and which is mated to a converted manual gearbox with overdrive. For the handling package, the car sits on new KYB gas struts with Chris Witor 1-inch lowered progressive springs. A front spoiler and LD Parts ‘Secret Spoiler’ have been installed. An electric radiator fan has been fitted in addition to the engine fan, and can be switched on from the driver’s position. It is sold with the workshop manual, owner’s manual, Rimmer Bros parts and accessories catalogues, and a UK heritage certificate. The seller states that no evidence of accident damage was uncovered during the restoration. During the restoration the windscreen was removed, new rubber fitted, with the frame also resprayed. All of the chrome looks great, as does the rest of the exterior trim. The soft top is brand new and the hard top has been resprayed, but it is not assembled. Its wheels are bolt-on chrome wire spoked rims, wrapped in four new tyres. Originally Pimento Red, the car was resprayed in British Racing Green with gold pinstripes along the flanks, and with satin black sills and rear panel. The paintwork was completed about five years ago by the previous owner and has been maintained in good condition, but there are now some minor blemishes around the car. The interior was retrimmed in Chestnut and finished to a very high standard with a new walnut burr dashboard and chrome gauge bezels. New imported leather replaces the standard vinyl finishes on the dash, centre console and tee bar, and a new Kenwood head unit with external phone mic is paired with a four-speaker system. All of the controls, switches and instruments work as designed. The most recent roadworthiness test was completed on 5 November 2021 and the car passed first time through, with no warnings or advisories. Peter Cooper of Cooper Triumph went over the car ahead of the above roadworthiness inspection to ensure that it was in excellent mechanical condition. The running-in engine oil was changed together with the oil filter, and the head bolts were retorqued. Refreshed mechanicals also include a new clutch, oil pump, Australian Scorcher distributor with high voltage low impedance coil and reconditioned differential. The battery and bonnet insulation material is new, and the radiator header tank has been refreshed. The car features a new reconditioned steering rack, tie rod ends and intermediate shaft. Its brakes have been rebuilt with new front rotors and pads, new rear hydraulic cylinders and reconditioned master cylinder and brake servo. This 1974 Triumph Stag is offered directly from a comprehensive mechanical and aesthetic restoration by an experienced, knowledgeable and passionate owner. A well-sorted, Australian delivered car with nothing left to do but enjoy it, it is sure to bring a smile to the face of its driver as well as classic car fans wherever it goes.
