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,.
