Load of nonsense on that forum:
"All but one of the first 50 tested to destruction" - rubbish!
"Mk2 Stags from LF20001, Mk1 Stags had an LD code" - more nonsense, all Stags had an LD code or LE for Federal Stags. LF refers to engine numbers.
Clearly these guys haven't read any of the readily available literature......Dave

I guess that is because they are Dolomite owners and have no need toOriginally posted by DJT View Post
I did spot a few misconceptions, but thought the bit about the E reg Stag interesting.

E reg Stag unlikely. The styling prototype was registered 6105KV. This was an old 2000 saloon converted by Michelotti in 1965. The first prototype was completed in October 1967 and may never have been road registered. I any case the F-suffix started on 1st August 1967.
The prototypes are recorded here: Prototypes.pdfDave

An E-Reg Stag is very possible - cars can be registered with any plate that does not make it appear younger than it is - so all Stags could wear a '67 plate

Nice cars those Dolomites. Had one myself a while back and it was nice to work on and fun to drive and was the birth of my Triumph car enthusiasm!

Agreed, but a 1967 E-reg Stag is unlikely. I'll say no more; don't want to upset the Dolly owners - the ones I've met have been nice guys (and gals!) - and we have a mutual admiration for the cars and the struggles to keep them running.Originally posted by Andy Rundell View PostAn E-Reg Stag is very possible - cars can be registered with any plate that does not make it appear younger than it is - so all Stags could wear a '67 plate

It did wear a D plate on the front for photo and 1325HP on the rear. Its real number is PVC237G com X777. It also had exhausts on both sides at the rear until Triumph modified it for the Swedish market as they only allowed exhausts to expel to there offside rear or left as we know it so pedestrians did not choke. Waste of time as no Stags were exported there officially. DaveComment
