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,.
