Triumph Stag

Launched in 1970, only 25,877 Triumph Stags were made during its 7 years of production and it is thought that there are now only 9,000 left in the UK. Styled by the Italian designer, Giovanni Michelotti, the Stag was envisioned as a luxury sports car, but failings in build quality and engine design meant that reception was poor and probably accounted for the low production numbers. These problems have been solved by enthusiasts and modern technology over the years, meaning that those lucky enough to own a Stag are in possession of a true British classic, portraying the unique and timeless Michelotti styling.

Haynes Range

John Haynes wrote and published his first book, on building an Austin 7 Special, whilst he was still at school in 1956. He wrote two more ' builders' manuals while doing his National Service in the RAF. The first 'proper' Haynes Owners Workshop Manual, for the Austin Healy 'Frogeye' Sprite, was published in 1965. Based on the stripdown and rebuild of the project vehicle with an extensive use of step-by-step photographs, a process that has not changed to this day.

There are around 300 UK car manuals in print at present with 130 Plus UK motorcycle manual titles. (Not to mention equivalent ranges in the USA, France and Sweden.) Writing a car manual is no easy job, it takes 20 to 30 man-weeks. Authors work in pairs to help shorten the origination time and to avoid themselves going crazy. From the start of a project to the publication of the manual it usually takes between three to six months.

This range is great for motor enthusiasts, anyone with a passion for a specific car, or people who just appreciate the classic Haynes car manual imagery.
