1976 | Triumph Stag

With only 41516 miles on the clock from new, this Triumph Stag has been used very sparingly. Having been supplied new by Lambs Ltd of Woodford Green in London, a Triumph Main Dealer, the car returned to them for its first five services which is displayed in the original Triumph Service Passport in the history file. In the late 1980s the car was shipped off to Jersey where LMP53P lived a sheltered life of 25 years covering only 10,000 miles in that time. In the early 2000’s the Stag landed back in the UK where a further four and a half thousand miles have been covered since.

The car initially came to us from a local customer who had owned the car for over 5 years and serviced and MOT tested the car each year. In 2020, nearly £10,000 was spent with our sister company Malton Coachworks to carry out a major engine overhaul and other mechanical jobs. The bores were honed back and engineered to standard specification, the engine block faces were machined, the crank was reground, the cylinder heads were machined, and a vacuum test was carried out. A new full gasket kit, timing chain, clutch plate, release bearing, water pump, thermostat, and oil seals were also fitted. Further work included a carburettors rebuild. The underside was cleaned off and cavity waxed to preserve the underneath, and the steering column bushes were replaced which gives the steering a very precise feel on the road. Since the major program of repair work, the car enjoyed a careful 5 years of ownership ahead of coming to us in part exchange. We quickly sold the Stag to one of our long term customers based here in North Yorkshire who has found the car totally reliable, and very enjoyable to drive. The Stag now returns to us to make room for a selection of new arrivals.
