OK, it's true that the original Stag engines were embarassing to
Triumph, but I have been told several times, by several sources,
that there are plenty of fixes that make the Stag engine fairly
reliable.
I have a mild interest in Stags, as I believe they are really cool
family-type Triumphs. I will own one some day. The editor of the KC
Triumphs newsletter owns a gorgeous Stag, and I've talked with him
about it at some length.
Of course, if the mods haven't been made on this engine (and they
probably haven't) you will have to endure the pain of making them.
I believe there is a club in England that can provide the details.
All in all, that sounds like a great price for a Stag. They seem to
bring pretty good money around here.
And you know, that engine is really kind of pretty...
