How many are left? (UK survivors)
According to DVLA data (Q3 2023), the surviving UK Triumph Stag population was:
| Transmission | Licensed | SORN | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual | 3,980 | 1,541 | 5,521 |
| Auto | 2,046 | 802 | 2,848 |
| Grand Total | 8,369 | ||
| UK Survival Rate | 33.82% | 13.15% | 46.97% |
Data: Stag Owners Club / DVLA.
A ~47% UK survival rate is extraordinary for a mass-produced car of the 1970s. For context, everyday saloons and coupés built in far greater numbers over the same period — the Morris Marina and the Ford Capri among them — survive at rates well below 1% of their original UK production. That the Stag has held on to nearly half of its original UK fleet is a measure of how thoroughly it has passed from ordinary transport into cherished-classic status, sustained by active clubs, a strong specialist network and owners willing to preserve rather than scrap.
