    C a grand tourer, but with a few suspension mods it makes the car a great grand sports tourer

      Keeping to your criteria, it's a true GT, more power than a saloon, but not the handling of a sports car. Martin.

        My Dad, who owned one in the seventies and has owned lots of vehicles in and around that price range before and well since thinks its a "luxury sports car", I'd have to check with him but my guess is that in your definitions, that would make it a sports tourer.

        From my point of view I think the term GT was so badly abused in the seventies and early eighties, mostly by the Ford Motor Company, (we can take a capri fit a twin choke carb and some fake wood and call it a Capri 3000 GT) that its entirely possible the term became meaningless.

        The stag is a GT in the oldest meaning of the term, but its also a sports car in many peoples minds because it has a soft top. I know these aren't the real meaning of the word sports car, but frankly I challenge anyone to provide me with a hard and fast definition for a sports car. I have a feeling my Dad is right, its a luxury sports car and I think I am right too, it fits the correctly applied term of a Grand Tourer.

          Bearing in mind your original question "What is the Stag", I also wonder whether owners (those who can be bothered with this sort of thing !) view their cars as female or male.

          Frankly, I'm not sure I always refer to mine as 'she' because she is so beautiful (I didn't say anything about stubborn, temperamental, costly etc etc ) but 'Stag' certainly isn't the most feminine of terms !

          Any thoughts?

          Cheers

            Mine is definitely male, and sometimes known as Colin.

            Male because he is always happy to go down the pub with me at a moments notice

              GT but in the Italian sense rather than Marina / Crapri etc etc



              Way too much tyre scream and not enough straight line performance to have the word sports added

              My Stag is male and called Rupert - quite butch but maybe a little bit too pretty
              Stags and Range Rover Classics - I must be a loony

                    I also am the "votee" of the "sports" car... wishful thinking perhaps but with a fuel hungry 250 plus BHP its got to be re-considering its future as a tourer of any kind.

                      I think the Stag is a GT. Although its a STAG i think mine is female because its pretty, expensive and high maintenance. I call mine the Stig!!

                        How are you planning to get that level of BHP?

                          With the Rover V8, Cylinder head work big valves high compression (10.5:1 pistons). The block has been "decked" to piston height I have a four barrel carb set up to go with it all and then a fast road camshaft.

                          250 maybe a bit of an exaggeration but over 200 is a good target
