About E.J. Ward

E.J. Ward Motor Engineers was established in 1981 by father and son, Mick and John Ward.  Mick had just left Technical College, and John who already ran a motor vehicle workshop (and owned a Stag), decided that there was a demand in the Midlands for specialist knowledge and services for the Triumph Stag.  When the business started the Triumph Stag was only 11 years old.  In the early days work mainly revolved around servicing, general mechanical repairs and the odd bit of body repair work.

As the Triumph Stag has reached maturity E.J. Wards have needed to evolve to meet the demands of todays classic car owner.  The company always has several major body restorations and full engine rebuilds on the go, as well as carrying out all aspects of motor vehicle work, such as, general maintenance and servicing, Triumph Stag Sales, re-bushing, in house machining facilities, upholstery and retrimming, state of the art spray booth, and in more recent years has developed a Spare Parts Shop.

You will see from our catalogue that we not only offer a huge range of standard spares for the Triumph Stag, but we have also developed many new and better upgrades to make this classic comfortable and reliable enough for todays owners.

Things have certainly moved on since those early days at Welford Road in Leicester. We recently moved into larger premises near Bruntingthopre in Leicestershire, and Trina, Mick's wife, who has been with the company since 1997, initially working in the workshop, is now one of the partners and oversees operations.  Since his retirement John now works part time for Mick and Trina.  (We won't let him leave, as much as he tries).  The workforce grows year on year with now two apprentices, one of whom won apprentice of the year in 2016.
