Stag about time they were reconised

Refer to the link below. They even presented a Stag in it’s correct colour. Only the luck Stag owners have a Stag of this colour. Mal C. sent the link to me.

Spiro E.: Stags seem to be on the rise all over the world I well known Green Stag sold in Melbourne in the 40s some weeks back, Quite a few more sales in the 30s as well here in Australia, Its time to think about bringing my yellow stag back to life

Values are definitely on the move based on recent sales data, especially for original cars like this one; original is what the market demands for many Marques but what’s new? That is a really lovely car and does look like it has had lots of love thrown at it, with factory air, USA style mirror, period style profile tyres, not an oil leak in site and looks unadulterated too, the way the Stag looks best and worth every cent. Very well photographed and the lines look very pleasing in purple. Disappointing the original Kienzle balance wheel clock is missing. I would never dream of buying my new Bentley, Rolls Royce or even Maserati without a designer clock staring at me. And quartz just does not cut it! Spiro, yes I think its time to bring back your yellow Stag back to life but no supercharger this time!

Dave M.: In my view, that's a ridiculous ask - close to $Aus90,000 . This one is more realistically priced, closer to the value seen in the top Australian Stags / UK Stags hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/triumph/stag/1895595.html Just 3 years ago, an immaculate, totally untouched and original, one owner, genuine 38,000 mile Mk1 Stag, struggled to sell in Sydney for $32,000, and was withdrawn from sale.

Spiro E.: Asking price and selling price can be totally different things For me the more people asking 90k the greater the perceived value of the rest of ours becomes We are not at a time where a full blown nuts and bolts restoration will cost upwards 60k alone

I do like the colour purple. That is one pretty car. Surely this car should be applauded for what it is. An original. Probably no other like it in the world. It does command a high price. We will see ! It's a pity there are no photos of the car before they gave it a clean up. Just a bit too much of a clean up in my book which devalues it somewhat - for example the under belly shots show high gloss black paint on the mechanicals and what appears to be a lot of new nuts and bolts plus some over spray and body Shultz on the inner front wheel arches coloured black. Of most concern and what I just can’t understand is why the triumph mechanics who have looked after this car since new didn’t sort out the water issue and the heads. To replace the heads on such a unique care is a crying shame. Only goes to show the value of a car club that shares knowledge.
