Triumph Stag Hardtop restoration to as new condition.

In 2008 we designed and built a restoration Jig for restoring Triumph Stag Hardtops. In the last 18 years we have sent restored Hardtops throughout the UK and to many overseas customers. We are very proud of this work we carry out. Please view all the images in the slide show below by scrolling to the left.

Triumph Stag Hardtop Restoration.

 The Jig was designed so that the Triumph Stag Hardtop mounts to the Jig on all the factory mounting points. This allows us to rotate the Hardtop 360 degrees during the restoration process and assures the correct shape and alignment throughout the restoration. We start with a bead blasted bare metal Hardtop shell and rebuild from the ground up. We have included rust proofing upgrades during the build process. We are able to supply an  "as new" Triumph Stag Hardtop colour matched to your car.

Prices from £3200.00

Donor Hardtops sometimes available - Please ask.

Delivery & collection from anywhere in the UK. Please ask.

Overseas delivery possible - Please ask.
