Brian,
I restored a Mk! Stag and drove it for several years.
I bought all my parts from Tony Fox at HRS in Park Royal,London. Tont is
one of the Stag's heroes in y book. he has retired I understand. If you buy
it, you will need to establish a UK source of good parts. I bought my
parts from Tony, andperhaps paid more than if I had bought at Rimmer, but I
KNEW
they would work.
My Stag was great car, and I miss it a lot. The only bad thing that ever
happened tome was that I did blow a head gasket, the failure was caused by
the idiot ion Az who used Devcon to repair the heads and sold it to me as
being 'rewelded" Withmy engine rebuilt and a Kenlowe fan and a new
radiator,it was a joy,.
